After determining the elevator would be too slow, Ward Brown, a Wake Technical Community College second-year culinary student, hustles up three flights of stairs to add the final touches to his pastry presentation moments before judging commenced during Wake Tech’s annual pastry show and competition. ‘It’s all downhill from here. A half hour earlier I was sweating pretty hard, though,’ said Brown, 21, who spent several classes preparing for the event. Eleven students competed. Brown’s entry, titled ‘Chinese New Year,’ won first place.

"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.
