Browse hundreds of great pictures from TED2011 and TEDActive

Posted by:

This year at Long Beach, our two official photographers, Robert Leslie and James Duncan Davidson, shot something like 40,000 photos; photographer Michael Brands at Palm Springs turned in another ~7K. (Thank you, burst mode.) TED’s photo editor Mike Femia has been editing things down into two gorgeous photo sets from TED2011 and TEDActive. He’ll be blogging about his favorite images from TED throughout the week — and we’d love to hear about yours.
