Well, I found some of them (item #5).
1) the pictures on that site are tiny
2) it looks like they were scanned with totally inadequate resolution
3) this would explain the color moire between the scanner pixels and the scan lines that would be visible in the original pictures. In fact, the way they are two screen images one above the other, I wonder if they were negatives scanned at only a couple of hundred dpi (should be more like 2400 dpi for negatives or similar size positives)
Any way, this effect is NOT in the originals, but in the SCAN of the originals. The fact that the moire is in colors reinforces this conclusion.
[Edit] I wonder if Steve Ristelli would be open to having someone with a decent scanner rescan these? If the problem is not being able to post large images, someone (me for instance) might be willing to post full-resolution scans to Flickr or some other site that can carry them. If you are in contact with him, why don't you ask if he is willing to accept some help improving the posted images.
