  Stevenson swimmer Morgan Bosse makes the turn during the 200-yard individual medley at the girls high school swimming meet Thursday between Stevenson at Mundelein High School. I find that when I'm in a rut the best thing to do is to shoot an assignment from a different angle. That is what I did with this swimming picture. I got down next to the edge of the pool and hoped to catch the swimmer coming out of the water without getting my camera soaked. I got a nice image and my camera didn't get too wet. This photo was published in the Perspective column in the print edition of the Daily Herald. Gilbert R. Boucher II/gboucher@dailyherald.com
