Yeah, I have to move it from Memphis, TN to St. Louis, MO each month. At home, for sure I can move my plants around a bit, but when I go on the road to the judging center, it has to be portable yet big enough to get some of the monster sizes that people bring in.
One of the really good center photographers is going to Tamiami and said we could meet up to chat about his set up. Here is his blog. I'm excited to learn some new stuff.

Melissa, I actually wasn't thinking about the transport issues as in to get them to the location, as you would only do that once and that would be the easy part, as pretty much everything folds up nicely. Rather I was thinking of the work(and more importantly time) moving all of your gear around for the individual plants once you got there. However I had a look at the link that you posted and it looks like the photographer uses a rather directional light in many of the images. If that is the look you desire, then you should have much less gear to worry about as the light sources wont need to be nearly so big in size as to compared to if you preferred a more soft light. This is why it is so important to know the look you are after, before discussing what gear you need to get there. Here is hoping you will both learn much and have great fun talking about the set up with the blogger/photographer
