Describe/comment on a Jacob Riis photo

Jacob Riis shows people how lives were lived in How The Other Half Lives. The man in this picture has been sleeping in this cellar for four years. It seems like it could be smelly and dirty in there. I feel bad for him because sleeping there for four years is a difficult and doesn't look comfortable. Having two barrows and a board to sustaining him while sleeping or sitting on there is NOT a memory I would want to have in my life. I know the man in the picture regrets getting placed in that cellar.
