Description
This trishaw (bicycle rickshaw) driver was parked in front of a barber shop in Chinatown, Singapore. He looked very important. Had he realized that I wanted to take his picture he would have wanted a fee. So I faked him out and took this picture on the sly.
Singapore's bicycle rickshaws have just about disappeared. Trishaws had their peak use just after WWII when motorized transportation was almost non-existent here.
Today, some are still being used for local shopping and at tourist centers in Chinatown and Little India.
This picture was taken in January 1996 and later scanned.
