Life: A Photographic Journey Through Time: Frans Lanting at TEDxMidwest

How do you capture the essence of nature? Environmental economist turned award-winning photographer tells the journey of life for the last 6 billion years through stunning pictures of nature taken from the far reaches of the world.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
