For those of you in the area that are interested in good photography, you should head over to a new art gallery which just opened on 76th street.  It's called Gallery 2622, and is at, no surprise, 2622 76th St. (in between the Wauwatosa Veterinary Clinic and Walgreens).  They are currently featuring the photography of Ryan Hainey.  He'll be on display through mid November.  The gallery plans on showing more than photography, including sculpture.

They have open hours on Mondays between 2 and 5, and by appointment.  Check them out, the work there is quite impressive.

Last week was Tosa Night Out.  There was no National Night Out (a waste of Federal tax dollars if I ever heard one), so instead the city decided to waste the community's tax dollars.  At least I can get behind that.  At the end of the night were some nice fireworks.  Here's a slide show of what I happened to get:

Last night I got a chance to head down to the Wauwatosa fireworks.  I was a little disappointed in the show for a couple of reasons.  First, my usual spot, which normally gives a great view of the show, wasn't as good this year because they seemed to change the launching point from the football field to the new grassy area a block east.  Secondly... and maybe this is just me... but the show just wasn't that spectacular.  I didn't see any ground works and the finale wasn't that long.  They were good... but we've done better.

Anyway, as you might suspect, I took my camera down with me, and here is a sampling of what I took.  You can see the rest in this set on Flickr.

The steeple at First Congregational Church in Wauwatosa.  It's a Tosa landmark, and was rebuilt several years ago.  I was over there a while ago and took some pictures, while messing around with the different settings trying to understand how to take good low light shots.  Here are some of them:

Other than that, my camera has been fairly dormant lately.  Have a great weekend everyone!
