In terms of printing, my guess as a good place to start would be some of the AGFA MCC that Mirko at Fotoimpex is re-manufacturing, developed in a mixture of old and new developer (not lith printed, just slowed with 'old brown'). Print too dark and through one of those Harrison & Harrison etched glass diffusion filters that gives a reverse bleed on the blur (i.e. the shadows blur into the highlights). Then bleach back. Polysulfite and selenium tone to the right colour. Alternately, press the JWD filter in Photoshop ;-) The look doesn't appeal to me - it gets in the way of seeing what's there when I look at them, but lots of people like it. I used to run a good line in traditional printing that looked like this for wedding photographers and it was very popular, like most 'tricks'.
