An excerpt of North Korea diary
(High school students in physics class)
As scheduled by the government, we took the assigned van to the Pyongyong No.1 High School, arriving on time at 3pm, April 10, 2014. A smiling middle-age female teacher with the foreign affairs office of the school was already waiting for us. She dressed in a green uniform with badges of national leaders on the upper left of her chest. She led us to the lobby of the building, up in front was a grand drawing that General Kim Il Sung were surrounded by a number of children. The lady introduced the several visits that General Kim Il Sung paid to the school. At the same time, she asked us not to shoot at the drawing...
The elevator was out of order. We climbed up the ladders to the fifth floor carrying heavy photography equipments. We were led to a computer class for photography before we came to the physics class, when all the students were divided into several teams, each concentrating on their own experiments, nobody seems to be aware of our visiting.I did not come up with a good photography idea at my first sight. We went around the classroom and took pictures of the students from different angles. It is not my objective of passively following the documentary photography. I kept thinking until I came to the podium, there I found the perfect angle of picturing. I immediately requested the students, via translator, to suspend their experient and look up to the camera. The request was immediately questioned by the accompanying teacher, who asked "why" and requested me to justify. l explained to them "I would not want to just make ordinary documentary photographs, I hope to highlight the spirit of North Korean youth via their eyes and facial expression..." The request was finally permitted. We immediately set up the lighting and the equipments, slightly changed the seating of the students to ensure all are on the picture. Finally, after all these efforts, I clicked the shutter, captured the poetic moment of original science fantasy.
