The illustration #12.1, Eldridge Street Police Station Lodger: An Ancient Lodger and the Plank on Which She Slept by Jacob A. RIIS whose aim was to target social change through his photographs. The viewer can see the poor conditions of the tenement building that individuals live in, which is the reason that RIIS documented these locations to expose them with his handheld camera and to create change in society. The capture images involved empty, dirty, and deteriorating walls that are described in the illustration with the use of his flash cartridges,which sometime blinded the subjects in his photographs. His hit and run strategy involved the quickness of taking a picture fast while not being seen, which caused discomfort in the subjects expressions.
