Excellent! This is what I call "Architectural Geometrics" (a name I made up myself). A common occurrence in the digital age; just see facebook or instagram. But, here is an early example from film and printed!

Was Brovira really available in grade 6? Such high contrast, but necessary for this genre.
 

Yes, Brovira was in Grade 6. I really miss it for doing this type of print. Now I have to rely on Jolly’s developer formula and a bleach in a Farmer’s Reducer but it’s still not quite the same.
 

BTW, I have a background in “applied geometry.” I was a mechanical drafter in the piping industry in the pre-computer times and it continues to influence both my photography and drawing today.
 
my heart melts whenever i see an image on those agfa papers... you used it to such great effect! I can imagine holding the print in my hand and what it must look like. nicely composed
