Katie Barnett, 6, of Raleigh, pauses to ponder whom to vote for as she surveys her first ballot at the Kids Voting USA table of precinct 13-02 at Durant Road Middle School. "I wanted to see what voting looks like," she said, sliding her ballot into the collections box. "I want to pick our leaders." When asked what criteria she used in her decision making, Katie twisted her mouth in concentration. "We want people who are honest and fair," she replied, reaching for her mother's hand.

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.
