On an average assignment, I’ll usually turn in 3-4 pictures to our archive system, called Merlin. Rarely is there room in the paper for that many pictures. Here’s a picture that I took this Sunday that didn’t make it into the paper, but I thought it was a nice moment.

Clifford and Delores shaved their heads in honor of their grandmother and grandfather who both died of cancer. PHOTO BY JOHN CLANTON, THE OKLAHOMAN ORG XMIT: KOD
