In the 6th century BC, Thespis, the first actor, introduced the concept of costumes for the theater. A little more recently, Bob and Sue Steinfeld rummaged through racks at the Raleigh Little Theatre's annual Costume Sale for something to wear to an All Hallows' Eve party. "We were scouting at 7:40 a.m. before the sale," Sue said, helping Bob pick a pair of tights to go with his outfit, which was worn in the musical "Kiss Me, Kate" by the male lead. "I saw it on the first rack and ran over to grab it. It makes a statement!" Bob said. "At 6 feet 2 inches, I'm just glad he found one that fit," said Sue.

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.
