That's exactly what I enjoy most about the IR imagery... The soft fantasy-like

I don't see much of the "Heroin chic" stuff anymore..

Depends which images... No digital rendering, but the images are scanned
directly from the negatives at 4000 dpi..

35mm...
Nikon bodies, generally fast glass - 2.8 or better...
