An article featuring our own Surapon?

This photographer was spotted taking pictures at an anime street festival in Osaka, Japan, with a crazy DIY camera rig that covered his upper body. The kit included three DSLRs, three off camera flashes, multiple action cameras, a smartphone, an external hard drive, and more.

Surapon, was that you? ;D
 
Unfortunately, no. He was not our esteemed Surapon.
Mr Surapon used red ring lenses, and Canon bodies sans built in flashes.
Only two people paid any attention to the photographer, I think one green with envy, while everyone else was concentrated to the show.

Absolutely ridiculous !!!! All that crap or hire an assistant. A pictorial depiction of an amateur.

So? Why be dismissive of an amateur?

It is all too easy to not think about why others are 'into' photography, some are collectors, some gear hounds, some just covert the stuff they could never have when they were in college, so what?

He might shoot for himself, a website, or any one of a number of publications, that he doesn't do it like you, or me, is entirely irrelevant and certainly no cause to be dismissive.

Is Eric Schwabel less "ridiculous" for using Profoto's?

When I see things like that, my first though goes to the scene in the movie "Airplane" where the wife hangs the Minox around her husbands neck and he keels over...followed immediately by the commercial for Lifealert - "I've fallen and I can't get up".

At some point, shouldn't your physical wellbeing become a priority?

Has he exceeded that point?
