Description
A black-and-white digital photograph by Devin Allen of a parked car being vandalized during protests in Baltimore, Maryland. The photographer is situated in front of a light-colored sedan surrounded by a crowd of people, many holding cameras, video cameras, and cell phones up in the air as an unidentified person smashes the front windshield of the car with a traffic cone. Only the person's forearm and hand are visible in the frame. Small shards of glass can be seen spraying outward from the shattered windshield.
