Austin, Texas – Photographer Peter Tsai and his experiences at South by Southwest 2009.

I recently got the chance to photograph all three conferences at South by Southwest 2009 (Interactive, Film, and Music). All in all it was a great experience and totally worth the late nights going to concerts and film screenings. I’m glad that so many people got to enjoy Austin during the week of SXSW and it was great to be a part of something special.
