The light on stuff behind the office was great that day. I shoulda taken more pictures of this ladder, but i tend not to take pictures of things that i've already taken, which became a slightly limiting factor as the year wore on. Although some subjects i took pictures of again... and again... and again... and again.

I noticed that a lot of my pictures didn't have a lot of color in them, so occasionally i'd go find colorful things to shoot. But then i'd revert back to the browns and grays that seem to so captivate me.

I got up early on the 25th, picked up an ultimate player named Chava and we drove to Madison, Wisconsin, where i played ultimate all day with Ugly Truth.

The next day during a break in the games i wandered around by the fields taking pictures and took a couple of snapshots of Chava, Cara, and Jason.

Monday May 27th was Memorial Day so i took the neglected pups out to the woods for a while. I don't know who's birthday it was, this was just stuck in a stump. That night i went to see Star Wars Episode II in a cold dingy mall theater.

May 28 started my summer fitness program. I joined the Oak Park YMCA and started getting up early to swim for half an hour before work every day. This also allowed me to take pictures with nice early morning sunlight.
