Seoksu-dong village and the surrounding area:1968

Photographs by Neil Mishalov

This newly located group of black and white photographs were found in their original state as 35mm black and white negatives during January, 2004.

I hope that this posting will help people have a better understanding and visualization of Korea in the late 1960's. After revisiting Korea in September, 2003, I found that almost all of the man-made structures depicted in these photographs have disappeared. The only constant between most of these photographs and the current 2004 landscape, are the magnificent and rugged mountains that populate many of the picture.

This gallery of black and white photographs contains 88 images. To insure quick loading of the image thumbnails, the gallery consists of 3 separate web pages seemlessly attached to one another. To see all the images, please insure that you view all three pages.
