These are nothing less than breath-taking. When I working with early videotape in the late 1970s, there was a generation of movies we called "red movies" because whatever film stock they had been made from had lost of good deal of the colors other than red presumably due to some kind of chemicals that didn't age well. These photos, as well as the Reds photo set, exhibit the same look to them, and I wonder if it's the result of use of the same kind of chemicals used in the negatives or developing fluid, etc. I assume there are experts in this stuff, and I haven't done any Googling on it, but I did find the similarity interesting.
