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.
