A young boy points his camera into the mouth of a crocodile in India taking a daring shot as another photographer takes a photograph of the pair face to face.

I can’t tell you much about this picture, only that it is the work of Sharad Haksar, a photographer from India. I saw the photograph this weekend while browsing magazines in Borders. It’s an amazing shot that captures the bravery and innocence of youth in a frighteningly dangerous fashion. But after an extensive search online, I can find no more detail about the picture so the story behind it will, for the time being at least, remain a mystery.
