Truant Texture

Kalinzi Texture

If you've been following along with my blog for a while, you know my penchant for textures. I have been shooting them here but not sharing them in lieu of all the portraits. This particular texture was one I went out of my way to get. I had seen it a few times as we passed in and out of Kalinzi and I finally spoke up to the driver and the other passengers that I needed to shoot it. The light was just perfect about an hour before sunset and I ran over, knelt down and made the shot.

I like it for a few reasons, one, it's a discernible place. Two, it's got great uniformity. And thirdly, it's a school sign. In my travels I have seen schools and school signs but there's no sign of students or even anything in the school structures. The distressed abandoned look of the sign speaks to the equivalent state of the coffee region's educational system. I may be wrong with this observation but I don't think so. Maybe it's just Summer vacation.
