A Photographic Tour of 1970s Brooklyn

Portraits of a borough in transition.

Dinanda H. Nooney was born in Manhattan. But she captured the faces of 1970s Brooklyn like a local.

Nooney spent a couple of years learning the borough as a campaign volunteer and neighborhood surveyor. In 1978, she started to take portraits of the people she'd met. Often, they'd refer her to others to photograph.
