Day 79- Does this make me look like a tourist?

            March 20, 079/365 (810/1096)-  Next week I take my class to NYC for a week, and I really needed a bigger backpack/camera bag.  I have been using a Tamrac Adventure 7 for several years, and love it.  It is usually big enough but on the NYC trip I end up carrying a lot more stuff than usual as we trek around the city with 46 high school students.

I ordered a Tamrac Aero Speed 85 from the 'net without ever really seeing one.  I think it will work pretty good but has some rather unusual features that will take some adjusting to get used to.

So does this make me look too much like a tourist?  Is it screaming "Mug me!  Mug me!"?  Maybe the cheap faux-Oakleys and the hoodie/shorts combo doesn't help either?  Perhaps I should at least cut the tags off the backpack?

I used the softboxes we use for video for the lighting here instead of my usual strobes.  I really like the lighting from the strobes better but these were already set up and I had spent enough time putting the camera on the tripod and running back and forth with the timer, this was taken Saturday afternoon at school and I obviously was the only person there  :)
