Tourist photos from North Korea (video presentation).
Once more unto the iron curtain… incredible photos (if only by virtue of the fact we see so few images from North Korea) taken by Paul Koontz during a visit to the country last year.
While in Asia in 2007, TEDster Paul Koontz got the priceless chance to spend a few days in North Korea. He brought his two kids - and his camera, capturing both quotidian detail (like the military bearing of a lonely traffic warden) and the grand spectacle leading up to the Mass Games. It’s a rare perspective on a culture we know far too little about.
