Subject: [Leica] Concrete buildings on UC Davis - ick
From: abridge at gmail.com (Adam Bridge)

Someone, somewhere, decided that unpainted concrete makes for the
perfect look for the UC Davis campus.

I've seen a few buildings of this ilk that I thought looked decent but
none of them are at UCD. To me the look like something out of cold war
propaganda, only needing a spy in a trench coat and some fog. (We have
the fog, used to have the spies too but they were caught.)

I shot these to explore the middle greys.
The entrance to the Dean's office of Letters & Science:

I like this one a little better. I'm claiming it as a statement:

Did either of these work for you? Why or why not?

Thanks for looking and for commenting.
