Jerry Seinfeld had agreed to grace the cover of their 200th issue. I scouted and secured a very private location two days prior to my assignment. <\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, the morning of the photo shoot was foggy. Jerry&#8217;s car was unloaded and rolled into a spot I had marked the day before. When Jerry arrived with all his friends in a blacked out Mercedes limo it was game on. He was a joy to work with, and the hour I spent with him went quickly. <\/p>\n<p>The cover shot that <em>Excellence<\/em> ran was predictable. This is the shot that Pete and I wanted, but it was never published. I had set up an umbrella flash to camera left and was ready when Jerry expressed the joy of seeing his completed restoration of Porsche 550-003 for the very first time. <\/p>\n<p>Canon 5D Mk II, 17-35 mm f2.8 L at 28mm, 1\/20 sec, f\/20 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE STORY BEHIND THE SHOT Here&#8217;s the story behind one of my best photographs that was never published.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"spay_email":""},"categories":[4,3,7,5],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/randywells.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11982"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/randywells.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/randywells.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randywells.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randywells.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11982"}],"version-history":[{"count":27,"href":"https:\/\/randywells.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11982\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12235,"href":"https:\/\/randywells.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11982\/revisions\/12235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/randywells.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randywells.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randywells.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
