Van Ricksha Driver, Dhaka, Bangladesh, 1991

Photograph by James P. Blair

"Toting a tower of poultry baskets to market, a van ricksha driver pedals the streets of Dhaka, awash in backed-up monsoon waters. Even waist-high flooding does not stop work in this teeming capital of nearly six million, which lies less than 7.8 meters (25.6 feet) above sea level."

—From "Bangladesh: When the Water Comes," National Geographic magazine, June 1993
