"Joshua Bickel set out to cover a demonstration in Ohio – and within hours, his photo of angry people pressed up against glass took on a life of its own
Monday was just an ordinary day for Joshua Bickel. A photojournalist for the Columbus Dispatch, he set out to cover a protest outside Ohio governor Mike DeWine’s daily press briefing, where about 100 protesters had gathered. He dutifully took the shots.
One of them, an image depicting demonstrators pressed up against the glass outside the governor’s office demanding Ohio reopen for business, was quickly taken before Bickel moved on for another angle.
But within hours, the picture had taken on a life of its own and was shared thousands of times. Commentators forecasted awards in Bickel’s future; others spliced his work up to make memes portraying the protesters as zombies; some even wished death and sickness on them.
“That part of it was hard for me, to be honest,” says Bickel. “I never want people to die, I never want people to get sick.”"
