"Every October I walk the thin line between suicide and homicide."
- Chris Radcliffe, Eastern Kentucky University
When I read this on the listserve I immediately thought two things: First of all, Chris gets my vote for quote of the year. Secondly, I know exactly how he feels. Homecoming is a shared frustration that every University Photographer must deal with. There is no vacation during homecoming, no colds; it is all hands on deck and shoot till you drop. The University packs in a months worth of events into a few days and it always seems like there are so many great things to shoot during homecoming week, but I'm always stuck shooting a banquet while they are happening. I thought it would be interesting to see what other UPAA members did during their homecoming, so here is a quick roundup. Just click on the photo for the jump, and enjoy our ode to those who walk the line:
