Eric Lafforgue's Photos of North Korea

One of my favorite photographers, Eric Lafforgue (previously on Neatorama here), went to North Korea for two weeks in April 2008 and snapped some really cool (government-approved) photos:

The pictures you will see are not stolen ones, it’s just what i’ve seen during my trip and what the governement wants or allows to show to tourists.
When you’re in North Korea, you have always with you two guides, everywhere you go.
