SUNDAY STORY

Time stands still for no one. But every once in a while, you can

capture a second, a moment . . . maybe even a day.

The Daily Pilot sent its team of photographers -- Greg Fry, Sean

Hiller, Don Leach and Steve McCrank -- to chronicle our community on a

particular day -- Jan. 23.

From a dory fisherman returning with his catch to an ice-cream man

serving up his wares to children on Joann Street in Costa Mesa, what they

brought back expresses some of the diversity and richness found in local

life.

There is the councilman who flies his plane to John Wayne Airport and

the councilman who closes up his bar late at night. They caught a dog

hanging out of a car about to cross on the Balboa Ferry and a lone golfer

walking through the green to his next shot at the Costa Mesa Golf Club’s

Los Lagos course.

Then there is the mason smoothing cement, perfecting his edges.

The photographs chosen reflect only some aspects of the communities we

live in. To document them all would take far more space than we have

here.

But they do show a slice of what life in Newport-Mesa was like on that

day, in that moment. Suspended in time.
