Spending almost 30 months in the DPRK from March 2012\, mainly in Pyongyang but also making visits outside\, offered an opportunity to collect up-to-date materials\, especially photographs\, which may offer an insight into the changes taking place. These might offer a new angle to be considered and hopefully stimulate further discussion about what is really happening in the DPRK now.
