May 29, 2012. On the way to find dinner, we walked past a fire station, and I snapped a few shots. After posting, I recalled a similar photo from Austin and looked to see if it was from a 365 project. It was, also during a leap year like this one, and it was quite close to the same date, May 20, 2008. It has me thinking about doing a 365 project where all my photos reference previous photos on the same day of the year. I don't know that I could manage that level of daily planning, but I have 94 days remaining in this project to focus on in the meantime.

Day 271 - Gull Squabble
May 28, 2012. After work, I swung by North Avenue Beach to see if Memorial Day's crowds would yield anything interesting. I got a few shots I like, including a guy so drunk he had two people holding him up while trying to get a shoe on his foot and failing. For today's photo I opted for a noisy gull party. I have to assume it started with the Doritos.
Day 270 - Willie vs The Abuela
May 27, 2012. There was a little meetup at Stella's between brunch and my band practice. Willie was bartending, and his drummer and drummer's girlfriend were there, in addition to my bass player / singer and her people. Standing outside, Willie yelled at this woman crossing the street, and she came over and pretended to lay into him. A good-natured argument en español ensued.

Day 269 - The Leap
May 26, 2012. It seems to have warmed up in Chicago just for Memorial Day. It's 90º now, though it was more like 70º yesterday when these girls jumped in the lake. They seemed pretty chilly when I went and gave them my info afterward.
Day 268 - Savoring the Smoke
May 25, 2012. This is the brother of my friend and bandmate Paloma, visiting from LA. His girlfriend recently returned from a trip to the Caribbean with cigars which were shared by all. He seems to enjoy it quite a bit.
Day 267 - Mermaid
May 24, 2012. This was one of those days where I had events to go to and shoot, but didn't leave the house. It was part immobility, and part empty wallet. This is a cast ceramic mermaid by our friend, ceramic artist Christine Rabenold.

Day 266 - Save Number One
May 23, 2012. This is the first of several fantastic Sean Johnson saves in the match against FC Dallas at Toyota Park. The most spectacular was perhaps a penalty shot that was blocked in the second half. The one Dallas goal came off of a rebound on a punch by Sean Johnson that dropped the ball in front of an opponent with an open goal in front of him. Nevertheless, the Chicago Fire won the Brimstone Cup by a score of 2-1.
