Antwoine Lesane of Raleigh sits outside Harris Barber College on South Blount Street with his cousin's bicycle. Lesane borrowed the bicycle for the day while a new starter was being installed in his 1995 Nissan Sentra. "I don't mind riding it. It gets a lot of attention. People look at it and they say, 'man look at those twenties,'" Lesane sid, referring to the bike's metallic faux rims.

"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.
