The spontaneous eruption of joy among friends. The charge of an unexpected discovery in a STEM lab. That quiet moment of anticipation before the big game. The thrill of hitting that high note during a live performance. These are the Ravenscroft moments captured in A Thousand Words, our photo essay feature.
