★ Photo Post – Austin Texas, SXSW 2011

Each year, tens of thousands of geeks descend upon the small Texas town of Austin to attend SXSW Interactive. SXSW also hosts Film & Music fans but, 5 days in Austin during SXSW is all I can handle. It’s the only event where one venue has over 1,000 people checked in at the same time and the only place in the world where I check in on Foursquare and get the note that, “75 of your friends are also here”. Unreal.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from this event.

Of note: I’ve switched things up. I’m exclusively using Adobe Lightroom for the foreseeable future to edit photos. Let me know what you think of the results.

My last photo in Austin. Sleepy Adam is Sleepy. It was time for rest.

I had an amazingly awesome time at SXSW. It is an adventure that I’ll remember for many years to come. Thank you to my friends who made this event even more exciting. So much knowledge and networking. Our industry is changing so quickly and SXSW is an institution for everyone in technology.
