Capirani Photography: Winning a Local Photo Contest

Winning a Local Photo Contest

It's a first for me. But that's because it's also the first time I have ever entered a photo contest before. But I won a local photo contest...just a small one...but I enjoyed participating. It gives me a bit of a boost in confidence and morale as well. My winning photo was put in the local newspaper and online paper as well today. The contest was last week and part of the activities of our local Camera Club. It was my first time there. Each month they have a theme contest and September's theme was "Hats". Tonight I will post a few of my photos on this theme, but the photo I won with has children in it. I did get permission to allow the photo to be published in the local newspapers and online paper but I have not discussed it with the parents for posting it here. I'm excited about it and of course love getting to brag about it.
October's theme is a spooky theme for Halloween. It is "Transparency-Shadows-Ghosts" and I probably won't have anything to enter for October. Halloween is not my thing.

Okay, so here are some of my "Hats" photos, although none of the ones I took with the kids in them, and not the winning photo. If I get permission, I will post the winning photo here too.

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.
