I don't much like the "dreamy, impressionistic quality to the images" but I 
do like the images.  I like the IR explanation.  I wonder if there is 
conventional film without anti-halation layers.  Masking film?  Some of the 
images reminded me of early Atget in their glowing quality.  I always 
wondered if Atget used IR film but it only dates back to about 1910.  Never 
put the two together, the old style glow due to no anti-halation layer.
