SXSW Experience



I had the great opportunity to be chosen for my first SXSW experience to create a series of portraits of the many different people during the days that SXSW music festival went on. For those who have never had the chance to be in a SXSW festival, I must tell you that this I recommend you do this must go into your bucket list. The energy that gets you is unique. The bands and the musicians start playing from 12 pm til late am, and the famous 6th street is closed to pedestrians so they can enjoy bars and restaurants from I-35 to Congress. The music gets you and it is easy to go with the flow. You meet music celebrities, movie and TV stars and it is as easy to get to meet them as any regular person. Free drinks, VIP events make this experience a regenerating experience turning aging into something that will not happen soon. This is the Music Capital of the World. This is Austin. This is SXSW.


Tuve la fortuna de ser elegido en mi primera experiencia SXSW para crear una serie de retratos de diferentes personalidades durante los días del festival de música. Para quienes nunca hayan tenido la oportunidad de estar en un SXSW definitivamente es de las cosas que uno no puede dejar de hacer al menos una vez en la vida, la energía que ahi se vive es única e inigualable. Las bandas y músicos empiezan a tocar desde medio día hasta altas horas de la madrugada, la famosa calle 6 llena de bares y restaurantes es cerrada desde la altura de la carretera interestatal 35 hasta la calle del Congreso, la música te envuelve tanto en los bares como en la calle, celebridades de la música, cine y TV es fácil encontrarlas en cada esquina como cualquier persona normal, bebidas gratis, eventos VIP, es inevitable no rejuvenecer, pues esto es la Capital de la Música en Vivo del mundo, esto es Austin, esto es SXSW.
