'I'm making my hair look crazy,' said Emily Frachtling, front, who shared hairspray with Mitchell Metz, second from right, while they were preparing for the performance at ArtsCenter in Carrboro. The two and other Emerson Waldorf High School students showcased their nontraditional skills at the annual Circus of Sorts. The 45-minute theatrical act, guided by teacher Kia Carscallen, is part of the school's circus arts curriculum.

"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.
