This photo shows a local street vendor with nothing unusual going on.
However, the picture may appear a bit dark, because the photographer was not asked not to use a flash to keep from scaring the citizens.
Kids carrying water
In this picture two kids are carrying water home in plastic pails. The North Korean regime doesn’t allow these kinds of pictures.
They contradict the stories of well fed and prosperous citizens. Even though the photographer explained that poverty exists in every country, his own included, they did not want him to take it.
Too wealthy?
Shots of poverty are not approved by the North Korean regime but surprisingly shots of wealth are not approved either and they did not want this photograph of a Mercedes taken.
Such opulence does not fit in to their pseudo-socialist ideology.
Hardhats please
These window washers are climbing the side of the building with no special equipment of protection.
No one on the ground seems particularly concerned. It doesn’t seem like worker safety is the top most thing on their mind.
No crowds
This picture shows a dolphin amusement act for what seems like the military and the country’s elite and is surprisingly also officially not allowed.
The North Korean government allow pictures of animals performing, however, they do not allow showing the crowd watching the performance.
