For Kim Smith, two photographs taken 20 minutes apart on March 6 capture not just the briskness of time but the frailty of life and the need to savor every moment. The first picture was snapped at 5:41 p.m. by Smith as her daughter, Tabitha Hale, sat atop her horse at her Lula home, reins in hands and smiling broadly as she basked in the late afternoon sun. Then, at 6:01 p.m., after a call to 911, Smith took a photo of Tabitha “lying face-down on the gravel and blood running out of both sides of her ears.”
