Filter images in a live search/getting each img tag within the div

So here is a snipet of the html code that should give you an idea of how I set it up:

<div class="item" data-src="img/01.jpg"> <img class="choose" src="img/01.jpg"/> </div>

    <div class="item" data-src="img/02.jpg">
        <img class="choose" src="img/02.jpg"/>
    </div>

and here is the javascript code:

for (i = 1; i <= 12; i++){ 

var captionText = String( $("img:nth-of-type(" + i + ")").attr("alt") ).toLowerCase();
    var checkText = ($(".searchBox").val().toLowerCase() );


if(captionText.indexOf(checkText)!=-1){       
    $("div.item:nth-of-type(" + i + ")").hide();        

}else{

}

Looking at the console.log I can get the caption only on the first time and after that its undefined. My guess is that nth-of-type is not correct choice/not using the right selectors but I am not sure which jquery I should be using instead. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
