About This Project

"No Ordinary Day" is a visual diary of the events, both large and small, that serve as milestones in people's lives. It debuted on March 24, 2002 and concluded on Aug. 29, 2007. We hope you continue to enjoy looking at our archive of “No Ordinary Day” images.

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.

Amy Kemp and her flower girl Anna Swindell, 9, take directions from a photographer for a wedding portrait on the Fayetteville St. Mall in downtown Raleigh. Kemp and Rob Ruchte married Saturday at The Cardinal Club, at the top of the Wachovia Capitol Center, which can be seen in the background. "We were looking for something urban, elegant and non-traditional," Ruchte said of their location choice. "It's got a great view -- we can see the city around us." Located on the 28th and 29th floors of the Center, the exclusive club offers a "haven of refuge" for its 1000 plus members.
