Considering the US and North Korea are not really on friendly terms, when a surge of nationalistic pride rises - be it some fiery speech by Kim Jong-il in the past or Kim Jong-un presently - do you at any point feel that your safety is under any sort of threat? Also how open are the North Korean authorities to tourists? You being an insider, considering you carry out tours in North Korea, may be very comfortable photographing the community, but does a rank outsider who is touring the country have that kind of access to say photographing the military or the locals, etc?
And i really envy you for the 5 month vacation:)) Great Flickr album by the way. Will be looking forward to your dispatches from NK this summer:) Best wishes:)
