Over the past year David Guttenfelder, chief Associated Press photographer for Asia, had been granted unique access inside North Korea, a country usually only shown to the world via highly-staged photo ops. The photographer has been able to show the country in a more natural state. Even though he traveled with government minders, he was able to capture daily life in the closed society. In this April 12, 2011 file photo, central Pyongyang, North Korea is seen at dusk. Photo: AP, David Guttenfelder / AP
