Picture for City of Raleigh

I took a shot at entering in some images to represent life in Raleigh. While none of my entries made it, one of them made it for photo of the day:

I shot this in 2003 with my old Canon D30 (not 30D) 3.1MP camera. Was getting a haircut in Nicholson's Barber Shop in August and saw the barber and the child's dad struggling with him in the chair. I left the shop, grabbed my camera from the Jeep and shot several frames. I learned later that was his second haircut ever!

I went to cover the HK on J for The Carolinian on Valentine's Day. The day is close to the 100th anniversary to the founding of the NAACP in Illinois in 1909. the march is by the NAACP to present 14 points to the NC Legislature for ideal they feel are important to NC.
