For the second year in a row, Photographer and Author Scott Kelby asked individuals to take to the street for one day and snap photos of the world around them. The result? Nearly 900 walks worldwide lured as many as 32,000 photographers to the street.

Now, just over a month later, Caggio: An Art Experiment hosts the first annual "Brady Street Photo Festival" to introduce these local images showing the eclectic and vibrant life of Milwaukee's Eastside.

Featured photographers include Audrey Waitkus, Coree Coppinger, Daniel Seng Pugliese, Allen Mann, Eric Quarkee, Fred Thorne, Geri Laehn, Julie Ferris, Kent Newton, Leroy Kollacinski, Mary Foley, Nicole Flynn, Pam Strosser, Phil Waitkus, Robb Quinn, Richard Bublitz, Tierre De Carlo, Tim Kant and Tina Klose.

The exhibit opens Friday from 5-10 p.m. at Caggio: An Art Experiment, 918 E. Brady St. The show runs through Sept. 9.
