Barber Ronnie Woodard clips a few inches of hair from assistant coach Pete Sinopoli's head during a celebration with players and parents of the West Raleigh Exchange Club 12 and under Cal Ripken/Babe Ruth League All-Stars. The team recently won a spot in the Cal Ripken World Series, scheduled Friday through Aug. 21 in Aberdeen, Md. Sinopoli was one of four coaches who agreed to go under the clipper if the team won a spot in the series. "The goal has always been to advance and make it to the World Series," Sinopoli said. "At the time none of us thought that would happen." The team was to leave today for Aberdeen.

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.
