Merit Prize: Charles Meacham, Taipei, TaiwanNikon Coolpix Digital Camera and a Bogen National Geographic Prize PackageCharles Meacham lives in Taiwan, where he teaches English. "I teach for a year, save everything, and travel for a year, then I then return home broke and start the process over again." Meacham captured this image during a Sikh festival called Hola Mohalla in Anandpur Sahib, India. "I was taking pictures of this young boy and his father when another man handed the boy this gun. It was really too heavy for him to hold, so I only had a second or two to capture the image."
