David Hammond, artistic director with PlayMakers Repertory Company, stares at the stage during a dress rehearsal of "The Tragedy of King Richard II" at The Center for Dramatic Art in Chapel Hill. "This was a good dress. The actors had control of the play. Technical things still needed to be solved, but you could see the life of the performance," said Hammond, now in his 20th season with the company. A specialist in Shakespeare's texts, he has directed numerous theaters and productions throughout the country. "I prepare myself by trying to eat right, exercise, and get enough sleep throughout rehearsals," he said. "I can usually do only the first two."

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.
