I have been wanting to share my work for a while now. Fear has kept me from it. After reading the inspiring speech from the legendary Steve Jobs via Serene's blog, I am having my first 'exhibition'...
* * * * * * * * * * *
I try to find the beauty in everyday objects.
All my work is done by me, without the assistance of Photoshop, or any other site or tool, rather than my own hand and the editing tool that came with my camera.
Today, it is so easy to make a good photo.
I kind of think of my images as vinyl vs. re-mastered i-pod tunes.
They may crackle a bit, but they were recorded in the studio...
So, grab a glass of champagne (the server is around someplace),
Pretend you're at a museum (or someplace really cool),
Hit the play button for background ambiance,
and I hope you enjoy!
Thanks...

Gorgeous pics, Reva. What a present to get up to on a Sunday morning.
Thank you dear friend.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I do hope you enter competitions as you have amazing shots there.There ae many I love but that one of you iwth the clown nose made me smile.xx
You are so talented, Reva...thanks for sharing your work! There are a couple of local coffee shops here and one consignment shop that I know of that display the work of local photographers. You should check around Cincinatti to see if there are businesses which do that. Take an even bolder step and look for a way to do a showing!! You've got the talent..now go for it! Your surprise package was put in the mail on Friday....ENJOY!!
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing -- the butterflies and bees are my personal favorites, and of course I agree with Nelly about the clown nose -- you are very brave and not afraid to poke some fun at yourself. I like Pam's advice to spread your beautiful work around.
Second the statement "GORGEOUS!!!"
Reva, these are AMAZING photos! I love how you take the mundane, the things that we pass every day and make them STUNNING! Bravo to you girly for letting go of the fear and stepping out into what you love! The part of Jobs' speech that really spoke to me was when he mentioned the realization that you have nothing to lose. We are all naked, so why not do what we love?! Big honkin' hug to you! ~Serene
You are so Janis Joplin GF! I felt like I was having a flash back...
I really like your editing stuff--I just have a little point and shoot--the editing is not too much fun.....You are inspiring me and my photography class!
I'm glad you were inspired to share these. I, too, found encouragement from Jobs' commencement speech which I recently watched following his death.
My favorite photograph is the desaturated one of the wicker chair with the torn out seat. Very cool to have a passion like this!
Lovely. I especially like the one that looks like chipping pink paint, and the chair.
You have such a talent! Gorgeous!
Reva, what an enjoyable art show! You have such a good eye for textures and lines. I have to say that my favorite is the very first photo. It's just stunning. Thanks for sharing!! (and sorry I've been absent for so long!)
Wow! You are so talented and creative -- which we knew, of course, from the style photos! Thanks so much for sharing another side of your creativity. These are amazing.
These are so freakin' AMAZING!
I HOPE YOU HAVE THESE ON FLICKR! Rawr!
Reva--I am very, very impressed. Several of the photos (the butterfly) are mind-blowing!
Good job Reva! Ariane
love the pictures reva!
Reva, your work is incredibly beautiful. Your eye for detail is amazing, and you hone in on that detail with great focus. Great composition and texture, and I love the use of colour in the purples and yellows; very organic colours applied to inorganic things. Interesting, lovely and more than it seems...like you! ;)
Well done!
