As protestors rallied around him, the moment seemed surreal to O'Brien. Nearly three months prior at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, he was laid off from his job. It was a position he'd held for five years. His future seemed uncertain -- everything seemed uncertain. But there he was -- at the rally. In the front row alongside the protestors. His camera in his hands, watching as a black officer in the line facing hi…

Photographer Captures Precious Moment During Jersey City Rally
Wendy Setzer was wandering through Pedestrian Plaza during Jersey City's peaceful protest last Tuesday when her eyes were drawn to two toddlers. One girl is black. The other is white. Both appear blissfully unaware of the reason their parents brought them to the rally that day. It was the first time the girls and their moms had ever met. But they were all fast friends. The best part? Setzer got it all on camera. "What made it a great shot is there are people looming in the background, adults with masks on, and these kids oblivious to what's going on and enjoying each other's company," s…
