Rick Cocco's then-and-now compositions offer a unique look at our city's ever-changing landscape over the past one hundred years. Between 2018 and 2021, Cocco carefully composed his "now" photographs to match their historical counterparts, largely drawn from AADL's online collection of Ann Arbor News negatives. This online exhibit features some of our favorite compilations from Cocco's collection. (A corresponding physical exhibit will be on display in the second-floor exhibit space at the Downtown Library from January 16 - March 15, 2024.)
