I'm sure many would love to get high-res versions of these pics, any chance he'll make them available?

This was shot on assignment for a magazine and Vincent Laforet is a professional photographer. Asking for high-res images shot on assignment is akin to asking a software developer to open-source the code they wrote under contract for an employer.

He or his customer might in theory sell them in some form (art prints?) or someone waving a number with enough zeros around might be able to license them, but results from pro shoots like that generally aren't just "made available", as cool as that might be.

strange colors - bluish/greenish like toys - real or camera/filter quirks?

One can wonder what images this camera would produce http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/146909-darpa-shows-off-1-...

"With an imaging unit that totals 1.8 billion pixels, ARGUS captures video (12 fps) that is detailed enough to pick out birds flying through the sky, or a lost toddler wandering around. "

You can get them if you look through the network request the browser makes. Largest I saw was 4096x3096, which is just perfect for desktop backgrounds!
