Encounter with Mo Rocca · 08:06 PM

This morning, while in NYC, I had a chance encounter with Mo Rocca.
He was cordial and pleasant and I knocked off a couple of images while I was at it.
He was talking about the recent Bush/Carter comments... in case any of you are wondering when
the segment will be aired.

Photographed with K10D and Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 EX DG.

Challenging lighting under the Spring green canopy of Bryant Parks sycamore trees.

Who is Mo Rocca?

Great focus, but a really tough background to render nicely.

Hi Sean,

Mo Rocca is one of the comedian commentators on the Daily Show, and judge on the Iron Chef series on Food TV, as well as commentator on many, many shows on TV. I personally don't watch a lot of that stuff, but he really is funny and cuts all this politcal stuff to the bone with his comedic style.

On the background: It is probably more me than the lens and subject. I have a tedancy not to shoot wide open for obvious reasons and therefore...unless absolutely called for, the bokeh suffers somewhat.

This was only the second time that I have had that lens out for a walk. The first time was on Saturday, when my daughter was awarded her Doctorate. I needed the reach and the large ap to get anything under those circumstances.

BTW, the weather is nice up here. When are you coming :LOL:

It's nice to see that he has time for a few brewski's and snacks while in the park.

Well, knowing Mo's sense of humor, I think Carter is like the pork rinds and Bush the cheese doodles. Same goes for the beer...maybe the Colt 45 is Bush's beer since he doesn't believe in gun control
