In the world of photography, what could be more technically demanding than macro/micro imaging? I know, I know. It's just an example. When shooting at greater than life size, the technical issues a photographer must grapple with just keep piling up. Vibrations, focus, depth of field, sufficient light. At first, getting an image where at least *something* in the frame is in focus can be tough. The point is, it can be a real challenge to make lyrical or artful images when your mind is consumed with overcoming technical hurdles. I heard a podcast where two jazz musicians were talking about how to craft melodic improvised solos without getting too bogged down by the technical side of things. They called it getting out of the math. So, how do you get out of the math?
