I'm not a professional photographer like you guys, but I do display snapshots I take and I do hang my own art. Not exclusively- I've collected a fair amount of work by other artists and most of it hangs with a few pieces of mine mixed in.

As far as your photographs go, I don't understand why it would feel vain. The photos were taken to capture or connect with a particular moment, being or thing. How could you not want to hang some of those animal faces? The faces themselves are so powerful, that it is easy to be humbled by looking at them, and by gosh when you remember it was your skill and vision that captured it all so perfectly to share with others, YOU SHOULD FEEL PROUD. That is not vanity.
