Its title, *People We Pass: Stories of Life Among the Masses*, points to ordinary people seen in passing rather than posed celebrities, and the board's focus on clothing and dress asks us to read their garments closely. Work in this documentary tradition often recorded what working people wore, from patched coats and sturdy boots to Sunday best, and those choices reveal income, occupation, and local custom. Clothing in such images also shows how fashion filtered down from wealthier city streets to crowded neighborhoods. Looking at the fabrics, cuts, and wear can tell you as much about daily life as the faces do.
