Justin Brown, left, and Jonathan Caso with Aarrow Advertising perform with a 6-foot sign to catch the drivers’ attention in North Raleigh. ‘It’s a brand-new form of outdoor advertising originated in San Diego,’ said Caso, 22, a sign spinner. Pulte Homes is the pair’s first customer since they came back to Raleigh, their hometown, about a month ago to expand the company’s business on the East Coast. ‘The more attention I get, the better tricks I can pull,’ said Caso.

"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.
