[Leica] Concrete buildings on UC Davis - ick

[jsmith342 at cox.net (Jeffery Smith)]

I spent the summer of 1971 in Davis (actually, in a trailer in Winters, CA).
The UC Davis campus was nothing to write home to mother about, but the town
of Davis was charming. Separate lanes for bicycles. A college town through
and through, like Sonny's town.

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?

M6 TTL, 50 sumicron, Tri X @ 400 in XTOL 1:3, 12.5 minutes.

Thanks for looking and for commenting.
