North Korea's strict regulations

Journalist Melia Robinson interviews Getty photographer Xiaolu Chu regarding his journey through North Korea. With North Korea’s strict protocols for outsiders, Xiaolu had to document his visit using only his camera phone. Even with just his cell phone, it was unguaranteed that he would make it out of North Korea with the pictures he photographed. Melia Robinson learns from the interview with Xiaolu Chu that “Customs agents inspect cellphones and other digital devices — including cameras, tablets, and storage cards — for banned content.” The natives could even report the incident to authorities for capturing images. I would say that Xiaolu risking his visit in North Korea was substantially worth the images he captured. The images expressing proverty, emotion, and sympathy for the natives. You can read more about Xiaulu's journey here. [130 words, 1 quote, 1 link, 2 images]
