Dana Capobianco NPC National Bodybuilder & Her Son James–Guest Posing Performance



This video features Dana Capobianco and her son James. They performed on June 23 during the 2012 NGA North Jersey/Masters Pro Galaxy and NGA Women Physique Extravaganza Bodybuilding, Figure, Physique, and Bikini Championships. This event was held at the Cicely Tyson Community School of the Performing & Fine Arts in East Orange, New Jersey.

One of my favorite words is serendipity: a “happy accident”. Before Dana and James came out on stage, I figured out how to change the resolution setting on my phone’s video-making program in order to make a movie with better image quality. I did lose details in a couple of segments, and Dana and James are washed out in some scenes towards the end. But here is the “happy accident”: while I was experimenting with the footage in Windows Live Moviemaker, I noticed how at times their figures look ephemeral—much like the angels I have seen in Italian Renaissance paintings. I converted the video to black and white and it exemplifies the role that both Dana and James play in the lives of the people they touch.
