homecoming bash

spent all day preparing for the event i've been in charge of all year, the 2012 homecoming bash. i photographed this event last year, and this time i was at the helm of it all.

despite all the stresses and the preparation, everything went off without a hitch and then it was blissfully over.

here is the team preparing for their hakka. this was a chant we did after our ride dedication but before our ride each morning on the trip. it is extremely meaningful to each time, and even to see another team do their hakka is pretty moving. here is our team, one day in oregon, still gives me chills
