Found this gentleman on the beach of konark (India) selling coconuts in an open hut. during our conversation he told me, during the season, daily he goes to the plantations around his village, plucks the coconut climbing trees, pays for them, gets them to beach and sells them. I found him very interesting and photogenic.

I wouldn't like bump into him alone in a dark coconut plantation! Instead of asking him to say "cheese", did you say "look like you want to kill me"?
