We present a complete sample of 72 I≲ 22 field galaxies from two fields observed with the WFPC-II as part of the Medium Deep Survey. Basic observable parameters (I and V photometry, sizes and intensity profiles) have been measured, and are discussed in the context of morphological type and apparent structural peculiarities. The median redshift of the sample is expected to be z ~ 0.5. Despite lookback times approaching half the age of the universe, we find little evidence for strong evolutionary effects. In particular, we see no extreme color gradients in the galaxies. The size-vs-magnitude relationship shows no indication that this distant sample differs strongly from the local galaxy population, beyond changes predicted by passive evolution and assuming a local luminosity function improved from that of Koo, Gronwall & Bruzual (1993).
