반 너무나 달라져버린 우리의 쪽 착잡한 사진들?
지난주 김일성 탄생 1백주년을 맞아 평양에서는 대대적인 기념 군사퍼레이드가 있었다.
북측은 이날 외신기자들을 초청하여 제한된 장소에서 제한된 사진만 촬영하도록 철저히 통제하였다고 한다.
디 애틀란틱스 포토저널리즘 'In Focus'가 이날 외신기자들이 촬영한 고화질 사진 43장을 모아 엮었다.

The press bus took a wrong turn this day, and suddenly, everything changed in the official showcase of North Korean achievement. The drivers quickly backed up the three buses in the narrow deeply potholed streets and headed toward the intended destination: a spotlessly clean, brightly-lit, extensively marbled and nearly empty building that preserves digital music recordings and makes DVDs.
