Brooklyn, New York was put on the literary map when one of America's greatest authors, Truman Capote, wrote in 1959, "I live in Brooklyn. By choice."

Capote chose a relatively unknown photographer, David Attie, to illustrate his magazine stories about the borough.

For several decades those photos were tucked away in a box, until they were rediscovered by David Attie's son, Eli.

Dan Damon spoke to Deborah Schwartz, president of the Brooklyn Historical Society, where the photos are now on display.
