I took this candid shot of a driver in the middle of a busy district of Singapore. Clearly, the heat and lack of work had worn the poor man out!

Great capture Louise! I love the colourful activity all around the sleeping rickshaw guy. If he’d woken up I am quite sure he would have asked for 10 bucks for you to take a picture!!
Haha you may be right! I have no idea how he managed to sleep with such a buzz happening around him.
