"I wish I could do this at work in meetings," jokes software engineer Joe Caterinicchio as he jumps in the air and motions for members of the Sail and Science Camp at Lake Johnson to stop drumming. Caterinicchio was one of three musicians from the Raleigh Drum Circle group to lead campers in a drum circle at Lake Johnson in Raleigh. It was the first time Caterinicchio had facilitated a group of children. "I think, to some extent, people are predisposed to rhythm and have internal clocks. They're the people you see banging on their dashboards. As a kid I was always banging on things," recalls Caterinicchio.

The column is a celebration of the struggles, triumphs and tears we experience as we travel from birth to death. Our goal was to document moments in time that might otherwise be missed; sometimes it's the tiniest incident in one's life that has the most profound effect. When on assignment for the column, we looked for that one photo that tells a whole story. Some are the result of a found moment we came across on our daily assignments or our daily existence. For others, we thought of a specific event, like a first haircut or last dance, and sought out a subject who might illustrate the idea.
