The Kitchens of Brooklyn

In the late 1970s, photographer Dinanda H. Nooney took photographs of nearly 200 Brooklyn-ites in their homes. The result is At Home in Brooklyn: The Nooney Brooklyn Photographs, 1978-1979, selections of which are viewable on the New York Public Library's Digital Gallery. The series is organized by neighborhood, from Bay Ridge to Prospect Heights, and while each photograph is fascinating, I found the kitchen photographs to be especially compelling.
