Photography - Welcome to Pyongyang

Photographer Charlie Crane visited North Korea and produced and astounding series of photos called Welcome to Pyongyan which captures the essence of the living nightmare that is North Korea.

It took over a year for Charlie to get permission to go in with his camera: he was not allowed to take his mobile phone past customs and was met by two guides who were to accompany him at all times throughout his trip. At first they appeared robotic in conversation as if reading from a script, telling of their countrys great achievements. After a few days and many polaroids the guides became more relaxed and personable.

The lifeless face of the woman holding the rifle gave me chills. So did the woman pumping gas. What kind of a hell are they living in?

I'm guessing the photographer posed the subjects that way... not sure why. They are beautiful people.
This is what happens inside a cult of personality . The sad fact is most Christians here in America do not realize they to live in a CULT of personalty . The Zombie Jesus Cult. All they have to do is look up the word CULT to know this is true.
