This photo of a jeepney driver holding cash while driving was taken in the southern region of Davao, Philippines, through the window of a moving taxi.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003eA jeepney is the most popular and iconic form of transportation in the Philippines—originally adapted from old U.S. military jeeps left over from World War II. With a top-to-bottom chrome body, custom graphics, names, accessories, and wide-open, doorless side and rear entry, a jeepney is hard to miss. What intrigued me was how the drivers place cash interlocked in the gaps between their fingers while they're driving—always ready. It looks like they have a lot of money, but in reality, it's probably less than $10 CAD, which is what they might make in a long day's work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003eIt was January 2020. I’d been in the Philippines for less than a week and had just arrived in Davao with my parents and extended family; we were probably on our way to the wet market. I had my camera in my hand and was seated by the back window, clicking away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003eEverything is so fast-paced in the city, and driving looks like absolute chaos when you compare it to the West.

As we were riding, I saw this jeepney and driver, aimed my camera and timed the shot to catch his side profile. What I like about this photo is that it doesn't highlight the driver; it keeps his face in the shadows, and the colour of the jeepney isn't too loud. The background stays visually muted, highlighting the exact thing I want the viewer to see: his hand, with the money $$$.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRead more about the collection \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/arthursollano.com\/pages\/szn1fs\" title=\"Fast Slow\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFast—Slow\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"a12t","offers":[{"title":"20\" x 28\" with frame","offer_id":49185734557952,"sku":null,"price":280.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20\" x 28\" print only","offer_id":49185734525184,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/3832\/1664\/files\/Sukli.jpg?v=1789935506","url":"https:\/\/arthursollano.com\/products\/sukli","provider":"a12t","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
