A Fisherman's Life

It was raining really hard when I took this photo. Actually, if you look closely you can see little rain droplets near the surface of the ocean. A little before I took this photo, I was informed a typhoon was approaching so my family and I cut our sightseeing adventure short and took a speedboat back to our hotel - many vacationers followed suit. However, as many of us were on our merry way back to civilization I noticed a fisherman who did not seem to be avoiding the typhoon... Instead I saw him casting nets; he was totally unfazed by the rain. The moment I saw this, I just had to take it... It was a one shot thing - we were in a speedboat so I only had the chance to take one photo of this fisherman. Taken in Palawan, Philippines.
