The cutline states he's cleaning. Therefore, the image reads exactly as intended. It also states he's a survivor. So, it's about how his life is normal now. What's more normal than cleaning your home?

I would have far preferred to shoot him skydiving or his running program, but I didn't know about those activities until I arrived at his home.

If you could talk to the reporter about the the assignment (since you know the reporters) or the deadline, I'd really appreciate it. :-)
