Wow! So now we know. Hand him a filter and mild mannered Nathan, journalist 
blogger of his travels, family, etc. becomes 
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,

U. V. Moose
