For several years running, I have had the honor of being hired as the official show photographer of the annual RSA Conference. This huge event brings together the best and the brightest to share the very latest in information security technologies and products. The name of the conference is shared with RSA Security (who actually hires me), but the “RSA” in the name is an acronym combining the initials of its inventors: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman at MIT. The RSA public key encryption algorithm is still today, over 30 years after its establishment, the basis of most secure transactions that travel over the internet.
Anyway, my background in this computer stuff has been a real help in documenting the goings-on at these shows because I actually understand a little of what the big brained folks here are discussing.
So my week is filled up with images of some of the smartest, most innovative people in the world. It’s a really good time. If you’re curious, you can see which of my photographs the Conference folks are publishing on the conference press photo website.
