We flew over the Atlantic to Austin for SXSW armed with a strong liver and a camera. Here’s our visual roundup of SXSW in Poloaroid’s.

As we wandered the streets of Austin, I couldn’t help but feel the energy and excitement in the air. Every corner was filled with the sound of music, the smell of BBQ food, free booze and the buzz of people. It was like being in a non-stop party where creativity was the guest of honour.
