To get the shot of JR’s “eye” from above in Session 7, photographer James Duncan Davidson and photo editor Mike Femia spent a good deal of time climbing and crawling through the labyrinth of what I refer to as “the uppards” (as opposed to the innards) of the TED stage in Long Beach. Here are a few bird’s-eye views.
This is the view of the theater through a tiny hole above the stage.
Duncan negotiates precarious ladders and crickety steps to get the perfect shot.
