An Illegal Look Inside The Crazy World Of North Korea

This waitress has to listen to the propaganda all day long while she works. The customers don’t get to escape from it either. Photographer Michael Huniewicz put his freedom on the line to get these photos from inside the North Korean world.

It’s like an abandoned community. But, the girls play by the crops that are growing very healthily. It’s an odd shot photographer Michael Huniewicz made a point to make.

People are leaving. Not many people coming. Why would you? The shots Michael Huniewicz got while touring North Korea tell the sad story of a miserable world.

There is very little for North Korean’s to enjoy. Not even when they come home. These kinds of dwellings are all over the place and are just basic places to get some sleep and get mentally prepared for another day, if that’s possible.

It’s not really a military type of vehicle. Emphasis seems low on taking care of their forces. Either that or it’s an eye opening revelation of the military budget.

Coming into the country, photographer Michael Huniewicz had to declare his belongings. There are items that cannot be brought into the country. Some of those items include adult literature, cell phones, and cameras like the one photographer Michael Huniewicz smuggled in with him.

They look like they know photographer Michael Huniewicz is taking photos at a very high risk to his freedom. They just don’t seem to care. Probably too run down or too fed up to have any care in the world.

Everywhere everyone goes, there is government control. Guards are watching what everyone does at all times, monitoring everyone’s movements, and restricting them at will.

How Michael Huniewicz got these shots is hard to tell. What camera did he use? Was he hiding it or were people just letting him take pictures and not worrying about the laws that govern them?

Visiting North Korea is just not that great of a vacation. You get intercepted by a guide. He takes you everywhere, tells you when to eat and sleep, and is not allowed to let you out of his sight.

In a struggling economy, people walk if they can’t afford a bike. There aren’t a whole bunch of cars running around all over the streets. It’s quite ironic since there are actual streets all over the place.

Michael Huniewicz took a beautiful shot of the two countries facing each other. They definitely have different spirit. Just from the picture, it’s easy to see.

Michael Huniewicz was kicked out of the shop because he wasn’t a local. Only locals can go shopping there. It must be about rations and they only have enough for themselves.

Public transportation is a good way to get around. Beats walking or biking if you need to go far. But, locals have to have a permit to travel about the country.

There is a rule about taking photos of the statues, which are that both statues have to be in the shot. There are other customs that must be observed as well. But, Michael Huniewicz didn’t follow too many rules while he was there.

They look like they’re doing a good job without supervision. But, soldiers are everywhere. They are a constant reminder of what type of dictatorship they live under.

These guys work for the government. They might be engineers or at least maintenance personnel. But, they are carrying their equipment and walking from location to location. Is this another revelation of the government’s lack of funding?

Good shot of the daily life in North Korea. No cars. No heavy traffic. Just a nice shot of what routine life looks like.

Locals can’t simply hop a bus and take off for a day in another town or across the country. They have to get a permit to travel. Just another way the government keeps track of its common folk.

People waiting patiently. But, the guard in the picture tells another tale of how a constant reminder of dictatorship is never more than a few steps away.

The farmland is definitely vast. The people rely on it. They don’t get much imported from all over the world. They need the crops to survive.

Human waste gets turned into fertilizer. It’s great for farming. So, this is one way people can lower themselves to get paid and be able to afford stuff like food to make more waste.

Michael Huniewicz notes how risky it is to shoot photos. His freedom could have been taken at any moment. All it would have taken is if anyone would have saw him. He would have been locked up and his guide might have even been tortured for “espionage.”
