This year my photo partner in crime Trevor Traynor and I went down to Texas to cover the illustrious SXSW music festival together. We had a general idea of who we wanted to see but with no set itinerary we kind of just went with the flow. And luckily things seemed to work out perfectly. We managed to see a lot of great bands and snap photos along the way.
