This man has been a bechak driver (pedicab) for 34 years.

Because he gets tired fast, he now can only work short days.

His daily income is about 3,50$.

...Seems like he is working for the cigarette company!

A pack of cigarettes costs 1.50$

Carl,

 

Lovely. The colours remind me of kodachrome

Carl,

Thank you MaDeVa, Adam and Charlie.

By the way Charlie, I read somewhere that the sensor of the M9 does give a Kodachrome look to the captures.

I agree with this.

In this image I only added a bit of grain to break away from the digital look.

Excellent,. and very sad regarding his addiction.

Thank you Bill.

This man is not so bad off as every evening he returns to his house and family where he can shower and rest.

Many bechak drivers live far away and end up sleeping in their pedicab.

Using public toilets to wash.

Thank you Stuart.

The man used to work as a batik artist. He preferred the freedom of being his own boss. My wife, Andan who is helping me on making portraits of these men, had a great conversation with him.
