What do you see at SXSW?

We want to see what you see at SXSW 09, so we came up with an idea. It involves you, but you don’t have to do much – sounds ideal doesn’t it?

Participate in the SXSWisEasy Photo Experiment

Participate in the SXSWisEasy Photo Experiment

We’re going to hand out a number of disposable cameras (we know, it’s old skool) to people like you. Your job will be to take a few photos anything or anyone, but ideally your shots will reflect your SXSW experiences. Then you’ll pass the camera on to a fellow SXSW attendee for them to do the same.

Here’s how it works:
1. Respond here if you want a camera;
2. Take a few images and pass off the camera to another SXSW attendee. Let us know here (or via Twitter @SXSWisEASY) who you gave the camera to. If possible, that person will either @reply to us on Twitter or here.
3. Last person follows instructions on the camera to return it.

Capture The Wildlife of Austin

Capture The Wildlife of Austin

Once the photos are developed we’ll put them online and you can claim the ones you took. Most camera drops almost always involve nudity and weirdness, and we hope for nothing less. It is Austin, after all.

So be part of the social experiment that is SXSW. Join our fun and we’ll see you in a couple days with your camera.

    I was the girl you gave a camera to outside of purevolume and I passed the camera along. It was #2 Connor I think. Did you get it back? Where are the pictures? I’m @immunity on twitter and you are following me. Thanks :)
