Now it is time for Epic Weekend Part 2, SXSW. That picture above is the Tasty Patty Melt, that I had at 24 diner. Danielle and I met our friend Ben.

Ben is a buddy of mine from college who is now a resident of Austin, so it was good seeing him and discussing the glory days of KTXT.

We then headed to the convention center where we ran into the little mascots from Xtranormal.

But then we saw a 4sq check-in from another friend and who else could it be but Allison.

Enjoying the tasty food bits at the Foodspotting trucks. That is where i got this amazing cupcake of doom.

We then headed to the convention proper, and hung out at the Pepsi booth, I spent a lot of time at last years Pepsi Playground meeting people, it was a good place to hang out, and that has not changed.

As a change of pace, this year, the lego’s were dumped on a table. Last year they had Lego sculptures for people to look at, but this year SXSW wanted conference attendees to build things with legos. An excellent decision, because last year the Lego’s didn’t fit in with Screenburn Arcade.

Speaking of, at Screenburn I saw this guy. He claims to be 1/2 the Joker, 1/2 the Riddler and 1/2 Two-Face, but that math does not seem to add up.

After that, we were pretty tired so we decided to make our way back to the cars, that is when i got to sample some Liquid HTML 5. It was ok, but I do not agree with this IE 9 cup, because I only got a half serving.

Tons of mascots this year, I do not remember this many last year.

And here are my favorite pictures from Fisheye February. This was a fun little thing to do because I have not sat down and shot a roll of film in a day in a long long time.

First we have Comanche Lookout, you might remember this from a previous photo walk. I seem to have shot this while I was there. I also shot some instant film while I was there. I do not remember this. I guess that is what happens when you shoot half a roll and then forget about the camera.

This is one of the first shots I did this month. I shot this at Solado Creek Greenway. The fisheye made a perfect companion to my bike rides as I hunted for the creek. This was the only bit of water I could find.

Again, forgotten roll of film still in the camera. I shot this out at Cadillac Ranch on a final photo adventure while living in Lubbock, this roll shares many shots.

Like the one above of Allison, shot at Palo Duro Canyon. Allison always makes this face when she is annoyed at me. She is always annoyed at me. Maybe because I am always shoving a camera in her face.

Shot this behind Taco Land on a recent photo walk.

Pearl Brewery as seen from above.

My buddy Rob said this looked like castle grey skull. I feel the need to agree with him on that one.

This bridge spans San Antonio river, or one of the creeks that heads to it. This is down in Breckenridge park. A train takes kids around the park, kind of a fun thing. My nephew loved it.

My niece and sister at Kiddy park. She was being really shy and I was trying to make her giggle.

And here is my mom. She is a happy grandma, taking her grand kids to the park. She came here when she was little. She took us when we were little. And now she takes her grand kids.

What I have determined from this is that I enjoy shooting film on outings, however I do not always go through a roll of film in a single outing and often forget about the film. Something to work on this year.

Normally when I try and take a picture of Allison she gives me her grumpy face. Look at other pictures on this site.

But somehow, in front of my Holga she warmed up a bit.

This was shot out at Palo Duro Canyon out in West Texas, during one of our photo adventures.

The film was never forgotten about and moved to San Antonio in the camera where it sat for, about three months.

Until I found it the other day and decided to drop it off at the lab.

Shot on Ilford xp 2.

I need to go on a photo adventure soon.

I am flying to El Paso for my niece’s baptism. Can’t wait.

I have not been in El Paso in years, it will be good to see the town I grew up in.

On a side note, this is my friend Allison in Palo Duro Canyon.

That was a fun trip.
