Wauconda Park District employee Alan Emmerich repairs the docks near the beach on Bangs Lake after they were put in earlier this week. The extremely cold winter caused the docks to be in worse shape than in previous years. I was driving around when I saw this guy working on the docks. I really liked the shapes and angles of the the other docks surrounding him as he worked. This photo was published in the Perspective column in the print edition.

I stood behind the backdrop and used my iPhone and timed my shots with the photographer making the portraits. There was a very certain rhythm and I was able to capture the moment quickly.
