Photographer Dinanda H. Nooney's portraits of people and their Brooklyn homes in the late 1970s are part of the New York Public Library Digital Archives. From the site:
"Working almost daily from January 1978 to April 1979, [Nooney] crisscrossed the borough, documenting the broad ethnic and economic range of Brooklyn's residents. The portraits that emerge are striking in their attention to the details of architecture and décor, which reveal just as much about the subjects as how they choose to pose themselves for Nooney's camera. This project was the subject of an exhibition, At Home in Brooklyn, at the Long Island Historical Society in 1985."
