One of the most fun ways to get a peek into another person’s life is to experience their city like a local would -- with a homebase in a their space. LifeSwap takes the fun of living how a stranger does one step further. We’ve teamed up with AirBnB to give you a taste of what it’s like to step into someone else’s shoes. We can safely say that this is the best giveaway of any SXSW party around.
Day 4 is about the word on every marketer’s mouth. Everyone’s focusing on it, but it’s not a focused word. What does it mean exactly? Why does it matter? And how do we do it right? Attend small group workshops about mobile ads, mobile responsive site and mobile app development. Learn about the rapid rise of mobile browsing (and what that means to us) in our interactive globe installation. And hear from Ruth McCarthy, Founder of Mobili Media, about how to get caught up -- and then get ahead.
Please come join us for a fun night out to view the environmental portraiture work of Brandon Kusher, while supporting The Crayon Initiative in support of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
Â
Proceeds from the sales of photographs will be donated to The Crayon Initiative, which in turn will distribute hundreds of new crayons to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles on behalf of the funds raised.
The Crayon Initiative repurposes used crayons from homes, schools and restaurants by melting down and re-manufacturing them. Instead of ending up in landfills, crayons are given new life and donated to art programs at children’s hospitals across the U.S., helping alleviate children’s anxiety during their hospitalization by providing a creative outlet for self-expression.

We look forward to seeing you there!
Brandon started taking pictures at the age of 15, borrowing
his father’s Nikon 8008 camera. All it took to fall in love with photography was a trip to New York City and some black-and-white slide film. The people and the texture of the city introduced Brandon to what he still loves to shoot:
people in environments with character.
Â
Brandon loves to talk to strangers and learn a little bit more about who they are, so naturally photography has become a tool for him to learn more about different people and cultures around the world. He’s had the good fortune to travel to some amazing cities and always looks forward to his next adventure.Â
For Brandon, as much as he loves dialing in the final image, the most important part of his photographic journey is observing his surroundings and truly living in the moment.Â
In 2015 and 2016, Brandon had the distinguished honor of having two of his photos selected by the editors of National Geographic as some of their favorite pictures submitted to the magazine. Both of these pictures will be exhibited at the show along with many other of Brandon’s favorite work to date.
