I was covering the MeghaKayak festival in Meghalaya, India. Sometime in the afternoon, this chap shows up and starts fishing, while the organisers are trying to shoo him away, because his line might get caught with the kayakers coming down the river. First time I saw a fisherman fishing in rapids, so well decked and prepared, and took a shot during my break.
