All the CircleCityCon pictures are now available on Flickr.
Below are some GIFs I made from the pictures I took.

I meant to include this on my last post, but I completely forgot. Here are some links to impressions other people had of the CircleCityCon conference that I found perusing my Twitter feed.

In mid-June I traveled to Indianapolis, Indiana, to be the photographer for the security conference called CircleCityCon. Click the Gallery link below to see some of my favorite pictures from that conference.
One of the things I noticed while processing pictures from the security conference were all the smiles people had. The conference was a blast and it appeared that everyone involved was having a pretty good time.
Chris Roberts AKA Sidragon AKA the dude who flew a play "sideways" kicked off the conference, followed by a Space Rogue opening keynote. From there, the conference featured three security talk tracks, and four to six training tracks. DJ Rance and DJ Cy-Fi and DJ Triptych provided some kickass sound for both Friday and Saturday after parties, which included walls lined with old arcade games. Duane & Brando rocked the stage Friday night and MC Frontalot got the hackers dancing Saturday night. There was also a capture the flag (CTF) competition, lock pick village, and activities for kids. It was a well rounded conference, that I would recommend to any security professional.
My favorite part of the conference came during closing ceremonies when announcing how much money they had made for the five charities they were supporting at the conference. I don't remember the exact amount the conference made, but at one point Micheal Smith AKA DrBearSec said they would contribute $200 more to a particular cause to round the total up to $1000. I absolutely loved that and that gesture reaffirmed that I was contributing to something special.
I had a fantastic time. I got to meet a lot of people I interact with online and I also got to meet some new people I hadn't interacted with online yet, but will be in the future. I hope everyone enjoys the pictures and I look forward to next year's conference.

I've got all the pictures processed for CircleCityCon and sent to DrBearSec for him to do with what he will. In total I processed about 360 pictures. I have two GIF ideas left to put together and then I'll be done with my venture. Look for a post about CircleCityCon and a gallery of some of my favorite pictures from that event.
In the mean time, here is InfoSystir AKA Amanda social engineering here way onto the stage at Dick's Last Resort in Indianapolis for a bachelorette dance off.
My talk, "The Blue Team Starter Kit" has been accepted by the CFP committee at BSides Augusta and I will be presenting there September 12, 2015. This will be my first time presenting at a security conference and I'm very excited about it.
Finally, this is just a really cool music video from Mike Shinoda's project, Fort Minor. Check out the website for a controllable 360 view.

Eddie Mize and his fantastic art at CircleCityCon
It's been a very busy week and it all started last Thursday when I departed for Indianapolis to be the photographer for CircleCityCon. 1300 driving miles and 25 walking miles later and I was back home with 3473 pictures to go through, a ColaSec meeting to get ready for, and a baseball hack to write about.
I've gotten the pictures down to 400+ shots I like and I hope to have something by next week, if not earlier.
Here is the wrap-up post from our ColaSec meetup on Tuesday.
Finally, here is my writeup on Astros County regarding new information involving the Astros hack from last year. The Cardinals did it!

Early Thursday morning I will depart South Carolina and head North to Indianapolis, Indiana, for the three day security conference called Circle City Con. The conference is a three day event with training, speakers, and nightly entertainment that begins June 12, 2015, and ends June 14, 2015.
I am signed on as the photographer of the event to document with pictures all the fun things.
I would love to meetup with anyone going that I know, or even don't know. If you see me walking around the con stop me and say, "hi." Also, if anyone lives between South Carolina and Indiana and needs a ride, let me know. We might be able to work something out.
Check out what the lucky @CircleCityCon 2015 attendees will be getting at the event next weekend! pic.twitter.com/CUTnRkwS8G
