Water taxis crowd this creek at rush hour. Commuters leave their 21st century office suites to sit on wooden benches running down the center of a rickety craft that was probably designed in the 19th century. The creek has few bridges, making these taxis the quickest way to cross it. Clouds of seagulls engulf the taxis, looking for nourishment churned to the water’s surface by the taxi’s engine. I made this frenetic image from the bow of a water taxi, and photographed another just in front of us while using a long telephoto lens.
