Abandoned Hudson Valley

Liz Cooke was born in New York City and divides her time between her beloved Brooklyn and the Hudson Valley. Her interest in photography may be inborn, since she grew up knowing that Weegee, an esteemed street photographer, was her uncle. This set a high bar that has never been approached! As a college student, Liz received a National Endowment for the Humanities grant to photograph Holocaust survivors and Soviet emigres in her childhood neighborhood of Brighton Beach. She has since traveled extensively, documenting the lives and stories of fascinating people and places.

Andy Milford was born and raised in England and currently resides in Long Island, NY. Influenced by his father who worked out of an ad hoc darkroom in the family bathroom, he has gone on to become a prolific photographer. This has developed into a passion that wears out, on average, one camera per year. His favored subject matter includes urban exploration, abandonment, street art, Americana, reflections, and anything that casts an interesting shadow. His work has been published in South Korea, England, and the United States.
