Behind the scenes of the Summer 2011 cover shoot
On a bright and windy April afternoon three Tricycle staff members met photographer Lisa Elmaleh on 106th Street and Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. There, we conducted a 4 hour photo shoot of a 15-foot bronze statue of Shinran Shonin (the 12th-13th century Japanese Buddhist monk who founded Jodo Shinshu (Shin) Buddhism) outside the New York Buddhist Church.
The statue originally stood outside a park in Hiroshima, Japan. After surviving the atomic bombing of 1945, the bronze statue was sent to New York in 1955 as a symbol of world peace.

This is a wonderful look behind the scenes. It's one of my favorite covers, and being out here in Olympia, I appreciate getting a sense of how it was done. Thanks!
nice photos!
