I hear you about 'stuff'! I have lots of it too, and I'm nowhere near getting ready to chuck it!

As for the macro, I'm not using the official macro lens. All of these photos have been taken with my Olympus Pro lens 12-45mm. Right now the F stop is 4.5 which gives a very narrow DOF, making it look like a macro.
