I really love the infrared pics- I stumbled across your shots awhile back before I came to mlp, they really got me intrested in giving infrared a try
here are two digital shots done up contact sheet style in microsoft paint(poor quality, but oh well)

Have to agree infared is so much more usable to the average person when approached digitally. It is a unique way to see the world, since infared by nature, is not in the visible light spectrum. It makes focusing more of a chore too, so you have to use a fairly wide aperture to assist in getting a greater depth of field.
I still have gear bags that smell like fixer and stop bath after all these years
Nice start on the infareds.
Skies will darken and foliage lighten too.
I took an infared snap of a friend with lupus, a disease that leaves her with large red splotches on her face. The infared sensor never saw her blotching and she got the smoothest looking photo of her she had ever seen..
It really brought out her tats too.
Below is a sunny Sunday in May:
Foliage in the fall? Still white
