I spoke of a book I couldn't remember which was photographed w/ OM's.
(I assume, since the Photographer has been spotted with a
comprehensive OM outfit)

>From the Publisher
This October, in celebration of a quarter-century of publishing, L\ onely
Planet Publications offers
its first large-format illustrated giftbook, C\ HASING RICKSHAWS, with text
by Lonely Planet
founder Tony Wheeler and 238 full-\ color photographs by Richard I'Anson.
The perfect gift for the world traveler or armchair explorer, CHASING
RICKSHAWS is a quirky
look at a surprising subject, lavishly photographed and presented in Lonely
Planet's
characteristic, down-to-earth style.
The publisher, Lonely Planet Publications , October 5, 1998
>From the Los Angeles Times:
Lonely Planet, pioneering publisher of guides for the
have-backpack-will-travel set, has remade
the vacuous
“gift” book genre to survey an exotic subject with intelligent
curiosity, bright design
and colorful photographs that get right in the thick of things. “Chasing
Rickshaws” (192 pages)
takes a look at the taxicabs of the developing world, powered these days by
guys on bicycles.
Lonely Planet founder Tony Wheeler and photographer Richard I’Anson hung
out in 12 cities,
from Agra, India, to Yogyakarta, Indonesia, chatting with rickshaw riders,
owners, makers and
repairers, and even taking the disconcertingly wobbly vehicles for test
runs....
