Some of the >images reminded me of early Atget in their glowing quality. ====================================================================== He most likely used orthochromatic film. You can get the same look (if you can find some) with Kodak Fine Grain positive film, developed as a negative. Blue skies go white, and yellows,reds go black. It's ISO .2 (point 2) though. Coincidentally, a few weeks ago I spooled some into a Leitz cassette to experiment with (we have 250 feet left from years ago). It's meant to be processed in Dektol, but I use D-76 to cut the contrast.
