ORANGE COUNTY PICTURES OF THE YEAR 1996
The news was in the headlines, but the faces were in the photographs of 1996. Rod Carew comforting his dying daughter. A street-toughened girl-woman turned ballerina. Firefighters rescuing bits of a flaming neighborhood. A bodyboarder in flight over monstrous surf. A swimmer on her way to Olympic medals. A dark-horse Democrat in the ecstasy of winning. All are caught in the memories of an eventful year.
