Homecoming Through Our Eyes: Norfolk State 2026

Everyone at homecoming stands in the same place. No two people see it the same way.

For Norfolk State Homecoming 2026 I handed four Fujifilm QuickSnap cameras to four people and asked them to shoot their own weekend. There was no shot list and no rules. Nobody could check a screen. Then the cameras came back to me.

The Sophomore

Still finding their place in the traditions.

The Alumni

Coming home to a campus that has changed.

The Greek

Carrying a history that goes back generations.

The Creative

Noticing the color and movement everyone else walks past.

Why film

Homecoming gets documented instantly now. We shoot it, check it, retake it and post it. A disposable camera allows none of that. With a limited number of frames every shot is a decision.

What's next

The film was developed at Photodom NYC, a Black-owned lab in New York. The full rolls will be shared here with a story from each person, and a selection will go into DREAMERS Vol. 2. North Carolina A&T is next.
