Wenjing Yang and Nyeisha Scott were assigned to shoot a news package about a cultural event. They chose the annual Holi Festival in Jersey City. A celebration by the region’s Indian community of the arrival of Spring, a key component of the festivities involves participants covering anyone and everyone in bright colored powders. By the end of the day, both Wenjing and Nyeisha’s clothing needed a good washing. But they protected the camera!
