Not sure which forum to post these on. These are from the late 1970s and early 1980s on film scanned to digital.

Intresting series.
Thanks jerryc41, in those days I know less about framing and exposure than I do today and that isn't saying much. I just snapped pictures to capture the moment. Nowadays I spend so much time getting things ready I miss the moment half the time. :D

Interesting series of images. Their IQ is good considering they are a few generations of reproduction and likely shot on ASA 125 B&W film. Thank you for posting them.
Related to the area and subject. I know a fellow (a former sergeant?) who some years ago was stationed in Korea to train army guard dogs. This was during calmer times ('80-'90s?) and he said that visitors could get tours inside the DMZ! Sounds crazy too me. It is a zone between two (fortified) fences. Too bad he did not take photographs. Today he is a dog groomer and dog trainer in California near where I used to live.

Life is so hard for some. A moment in time.
Thanks for looking. Korea is well automated now with large tractors and rice planting machines. It is really amazing how this country has industrialized in 45 years. I know life was hard back then but I'm glad I had a chance to experience it and take a few snapshots.

Thanks Architect17176 :-) I will post them there as well. Is there an easy, one or two clicks, way to do it?

Thanks lamiaceae :-) 80s - 90s was a dynamic time in Korea. That is when the lifestyle in these photos was lost. I suppose it is for the better; the country is much better at growing more bountiful and successful crops but the small towns and close family ties are dying off.
Yes, definitely shot with B&W film at ASA 125 and or 400. Some would have been shot with a Yashica TLR 635 that can use 35mm film and some would have been shot with an Olympus Penn EE3

I figured 125 vs 400, say for example Plus-X and not Tri-X because I don't see grain in your images.

You got my curiosity up :-) #1 & #6 are on the same strip of film Kodak 5063 I believe is TX-400. They weren't shot with the Olympus so that had to be shot with a Yashica 635. I would have set the camera at infinity and done an area shot without focusing. #1 & #6 were shot in 1979.
If the typhoon hits tomorrow like it is supposed to and I can't go out I'll dig up the film on the others and see what it is. :-)
