What really got my attention on the 4x5 chromes was that, being slides, there was no PP done. You click the shutter and that's what you get, not even any manipulation from printing. These guys knew their stuff. No auto anything.
I personally love the subtle greys that you get only with silver prints from medium or large-format slow films. There's a softness in the gradations of greys while still getting sharp details. Highlights sometimes have a pearl-like quality, like the shirts of the rowing team on http://www.shorpy.com/node/12643 , there is some blowout there.
Billybob, where were those taken. Looks like a beautiful place.
