The EU has a new data protection law, the so-called GDPR, the General Data Protection Regulation, or as we Germans like to call it: “Datenschutzgrundverordnung” (Gesundheit!). The rules took effect on May 25th and so far it’s pretty chaotic: in the EU we cannot reach some newspapers in the outside world because they cannot comply with the new rules.

My name is Hendrik Wieduwilt, and I'm a journalist and photographer based in Berlin, Germany. I went to Cuba with a full frame DSLR and ended up deliberately using only a compact, the Ricoh GR -- and not even the latest version (the almost identical GR II).
