The recent thread on K64 reminded me that I have some images that I've recently scanned from my dad's archives when he was stationed in Korea during the Korean War. About 100 of them are K64 slides, the rest are b&w. I still haven't scanned them all yet. So anyway, here are a few of the more interesting ones I've scanned so far. I say "scanned" but I was actually using my duplicating rig with my DSLR because of its better resolution.
My dad's camera was a Kodak Pony 135, which is nothing to write home about. But he managed some decent shots with it. All of the following photos were taken sometime between 1952 and 1954.
Dad at his desk. He was what some folks in the Army call an REMF -- worked in supply, eventually became a supply seargent. But even he saw action on occasion.
Dad's commanding officer. I don't know what his name was, only that he was a Lt. Colonel. He was killed when their position was overrun by the North Koreans one night. Apparently the front line was rather fluid where they were stationed.
American POWs in their North Korean prison garb. These guys had just arrived back to the South side because of a prisoner swap, which apparently happened fairly often.
Wherever Americans go, there will be baseball. It's inevitable.
A glimpse of where Dad was stationed. A corner of the motorpool is visible, as is the massive storage area in the distance for larger materiel.
Passing a convoy.
Sometimes they don't always make it.
Near as I can tell, this is a rusted out, bombed out, and shot-up train.
I'll post more as I get them scanned.

Thank you for posting these. As photos, they are great. The baseball shot and the portrait of the office really stand out though. As historical sources, they are absolutely fascinating. I'm eagerly awaiting the next installment. |

Thanks, Yebisu. I have processed a lot more black and white than I have Kodachrome so far. Perhaps I should start a B&W thread as well? I don't want to mix them with this thread since it's specifically about Kodachrome.

These are fantastic...it is good to see the color in the countryside....it looked so barren in B&W.
A nice tribute to your father and his photography.
