Luckily our real life photographer was more sane than this, as our photo shoot later that week provided sundry pictures to choose from for the album's graphic design. We worked in a studio in the Back Bay, where we mixed fairly standard portrait shots with more adventurous movement-oriented photos. In each case, our photographer Philip Porcella fulfilled his role nicely, yelling at us the whole time: "yes, good, yes, yes, beautiful! More! More...

In a downtown hospital, all the lights were out except for those in the foyer that illuminated the colorful portrait of Kim Jong Il and his father Kim Il Sung. The D.P.R.K. lost an estimated half a million people to famine in the mid-'90s, and even now, because of this year's spring drought and fall typhoons, many in the countryside must supplement their diet with "wild foods," meaning berries...
