Description
A man holding a large video camera and carrying a recording device stands smiling on a sidewalk. He wears a plaid shirt and jeans with a shoulder strap bearing a media logo. To his left, a handwritten protest sign on wood is propped on the ground. The sign reads:
**“HOOKER
You Ruined My Home //
You Broke My CHROMOSOMES //
My Babies May Die //
While You Sit There and Lie //
God Forgive You”**
In the background is a green house with boarded-up windows and doors, surrounded by a yard full of dandelions.
