Mobile Lighting Rig...To Infinity!

Okay. I'm willing to walk around a comic-con or the MIT Flea with a big SLR and a flash head and a battery grip in order to get the best photos I can get. But THIS guy! This is a sign of true dedication:

Breaking it down for folks who aren't photo geeks: he's got a studio-style umbrella flash rig, mounted to a backpack and fired via a radio remote mounted on his Canon EOS 40D. My hat's off. Though I have to think that this lighting rig made candid shots a bit of a challenge.
 
I wonder how frequently people stopped to ask him what character he was supposed to be?

I'd have hated to have the seat behind him at the keynote.

I'm not sure if he's crazy or brilliant... I personally would have just used a sto-fen.

Crazy brilliant, because he won't ever have to worry about rain. Just adjust the flash rig! Plus, he's dressed as satellite upload man.
