The wrong man, sir

I’ve just seen the podium set from which Obama will give his acceptance speech. He will speak in front of an arched colonnade behind which is the seating part of the stadium(50 yard line). http://www.drudgereport.com/otf.jpg
I don’t know if it is reminiscent of the front porch of the White House (which only shows 4 columns when viewed from the front), or the Brandenburg gate (which has 6 columns).
Picture this: Obama speaks with thousands of delegates behind him raising both arms to give the “O” salute.
Will there be someone of the caliber of Leni Riefenstahl to capture the moment?
