Venice Beach and High In The Sky

These pictures were scenes from Venice Beach, California. I spent six days in North Hollywood between Christmas and New Years Day and didn't get to do very much the entire time. Finally we got to go to the beach. These are some of the better pictures I took. All pictures were taken with my Canon AE1 and the zoom lens.

The following photos were taken from my airplane window as I was leaving LAX in Los Angeles after the one and only "vacation" I ever went on. I don't really consider it a vacation, because it wasn't that kind of trip. Anyway, I had never flown before this trip. Going out to Los Angeles I traveled overnight so I couldn't take any pictures. Plus I was pretty airsick. I didn't get airsick after that initial trip. These pictures are all either of the California coastline and the Pacific Ocean, or they are of flying above the clouds. I thought that the clouds when seen from above instead of from below like we are all used to, were fascinating. Sometimes they looked like you could actually walk on them. I hope you enjoy these pictures.

About Dreams on Wheels

Capirani Photography is the culmination of a lifelong dream to be a photographer. When this dream began I was still in Junior High. Gradually the dream evolved into my wanting to be a fiction writer as well as a photographer. Portrait photography was never an interest of mine, unless you would get the subject of the photo outside in natural surroundings rather than in a studio.

Now after all the years of college, marriage, and raising a family, the time has come to make these dreams happen. I have the time. I have the cameras at least to get started. And I have the wheels.

Wheels? Capirani Photography is unique in that much of the photography is done from the vantage point of being seated, whether on my front porch steps, in a car, or in my wheelchair. While I did not actively pursue my dreams when I was younger, my time for making dreams come true now comes at a time when I need a little more help than I had planned. You won't find photos from me after climbing mountains or traversing down into canyons or into caves.

I am here to prove that you don't have to be 100% able-bodied to make your dreams come true, nor do you have to be able to walk and climb steadily to be a nature and landscape photographer. Looking at the world from a lower eye level could help us all see life differently. This is my goal.

I hope you enjoy my work here. You will find, not only photos, but many, many graphic designs, or abstracts. Abstract photography has been fascinating to me ever since my first encounter with the World Wide Web. It has only been in the past few months that I have been able to really focus my time and my talents on creating graphic designs. While I am still somewhat unsure of where I can sell my designs or who might be interested in purchasing prints, the creative process intrigues me. You might say it is quickly becoming an addiction of mine.

If you have not found them already, scroll back up to the top of this page to find the tabs of photos and graphics I have here to offer you. Please feel free to comment on what you see here. Email me at aworkinprogress2@yahoo.com to contact me personally, or if you would like to purchase any prints. Simply mouse-over any photo or graphic and look below on the browser to see the name or number of the one you are interested in. The name or number will pop up and be the last part of the URL you see in that pop up.

You can read more about me in the tab above called About Capirani Photography.
