朝”闲“人。It's worth learning Chinese just to understand this awesome pun right here.
Anyway, looking back at my NK photos, in some ways, I regret not exploiting my 18-55mm more to capture the beautiful landscapes of Pyongyang and its surrounding countryside, as well as its many impressive, albeit sometimes monotonous, architectures. Then I look at shots like this and remember why I mainly used my 50mm to capture people - they are just more interesting.
It's the people that make the place, and not the other way round. Besides, the landscape/architecture pictures are taken by every passing tourist/photographer, and will be appearing on every corner of the internet. If I ever wanted to 'relive the moment' and remember the places I'd been to all I need is a search engine. But shots like this are truly unique and actually mean something to me, even if nothing to anyone else.
This was taken late in the afternoon when people are returning home from work, so somewhat rush hour* for Pyongyang. On the streets most people are walking hurriedly towards a bus stop/metro station or waiting there, so I thought it was pretty cool this guy was sitting in this serene park and just chilling out.
*still not that busy because all the workplaces in Pyongyang purposedly set their work hours apart to avoid rush hour.
