What happens when technology fails mid-project?
During a recent conference headshot session, my entire AI-assisted workflow went silent — no Wi-Fi, no automation, no backup, only instinct. What followed wasn’t chaos; it was clarity.
In this episode, I share how a small technical failure turned into a lesson on adaptability, patience, and creative control. The Human Algorithm explores what it really means to stay human in a world run by smart tools — and why the most advanced technology still depends on the person behind the lens.
Episode Highlights:
- (00:00) Trusting your tools — until they stop working
- (02:10) When the Wi-Fi drops and instinct takes over
- (04:45) Adaptability in creative workflows
- (07:20) The balance between automation and intuition
