"My name is Walter Chism. I was born in Venice, CA and lived at 6th and Brooks my whole life. The Venice Life is the only life for me. I created venice_life600 on Instagram in October 0f 2014 when I started taking photos with my phone. A good friend of mine put a camera in my hands and I just kept snapping photos around town. I get motivation and inspiration from the people who follow me on Instagram that tell me how my photos make them happy when they see them. I try and shoot Venice the way I've seen it growing up here. Everything about Venice is such a inspiration to me."
Clouds
"Whenever there are clouds in Venice, it seems to look magical all over.
This was shot at about 10am on a weekday morning."
Red Dragons
"I can remember this day very clearly.
There were these really big red-orange clouds over Venice.
I never took a shot from this point of view.
I got in the middle of busy traffic and snapped this one."
Fire In The Sky
"This was one of those fire in the sky type of moments.
I had already shot the sunset in the marina and while riding
home on my bike I just had to stop at the courts to
check out this out-of-the-world view."
Popcorn
"I love the leading line to the world-famous Venice Sign.
I placed my camera on the ground and got this sick shot
of the popcorn clouds in the sky."
Last Glow
"This was one of the best sunsets I have ever seen.
The colors were all so vivid that day.
Nothing says Venice like a sunset and palm trees."
Orange Dreams
"This was shot off the Venice Pier.
That night the sky was blue, then this orange color,
then after that it was a bright pink with a rainbow."
Sun Slam
"Slam dunk on this sunset."
600
"This is where life started in Venice for me. 6th and Brooks.
Many ask why I have the 600 on the end of my IG tag...
it's because of me living on the 600 block of Brooks."
