Wow! So now we know. Hand him a filter and mild mannered Nathan, journalist

Lens Man Wajsman, fine art photographer!
Lots of very enjoyable images in this set. I've never been a big fan of IR, but
here, as others have noted, the IR
aspect is only really obvious in 3-4. But put that filter on and you give us
strong compositions and wonderful tones.
You might try labeling more conventional orange or red filters "IR - for Art",
and taking some more B&W shots. :-)
Thanks for the tour,
