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.”
