What Marcus Aurelius Taught Me About Photography f/46

Sony A7Rii Photographing Lake Hodges In Escondido

Marcus Aurelius walked the earth millennia before the invention of photography. Yet his way of thinking and perceiving the world holds lessons for photographers and artists, I think. His personal notebook, published as Meditations in book form, is filled with inspirational quotes about self-actualization.

In today’s podcast, I share details of a recent photo outing that reminded me of Marcus Aurelius’ teaching and your mind and demeanor have a lot to do with what you make of the world. As Marcus would say, “It’s all in how you perceive it.”
