Last week I went to Austin, Texas to see what this South By Southwest (SXSW) is all about. I hung around 6th Street in Austin and went up and down taking editorial photographs of the people I saw and found to be interesting. I saw all types: from what appeared to be the local homeless to the frat-boys & girls, rich and poor, classy and not, cool and/or geeky; all were there walking around enjoying the bratwursts and the live music coming out of every available corner outside or inside, on the roofs and anywhere else one could fit a set of drums and musicians.
I liked it a lot. I specially liked the variety of characters available to photograph. I think I will make it into a yearly pilgrimage.

Interesting Facts - Migratory Models
Every day, beautiful young people from all over the world descend on London in the hope of becoming fashion models. But what inspired the photographer Gareth McConnell to document this phenomenon was not the promise of glamour but the daily life of working immigrants. He sought to depict the models away from the fashion shoots and the catwalks; all were photographed without stylists or makeup artists and using only available light. McConnell set up the shots where they lived, which tended to be in London’s poorer neighborhoods: Brixton, Hackney or Peckham rather than Chelsea or Notting Hill. McConnell considers the model the “foot soldier of the fashion industry,” although he allows that there are perks to the job. “At least if you are a model,” he says, “you might get to go to a few parties, drink a few free cocktails and sleep with a pop star.”Jennifer O’Mahony
