Class Trip

B&W negative 'colorized' by automatic True Color setting on scanner.

The boy in the right hand corner of this photograph really makes this shot something special . . . the way he breaks the continuity of the flow of the group in the background. Probably a metaphor for the future of Africa here as well--a move toward modernity against the troubled flow of the past. It's what I see, anyway.

I hadn't even noticed that boy! My eye has always been drawn upward by the headless statue - I find something symbolic there, too, though I can never articulate precisely what it is.
