Transwestern's Houston Young Professionals group took a trip to the Pleasure Pier theme park in Galveston, Texas. Transwestern Young Professionals (TYP) is a way for young people in the firm to get to know other young professionals across service lines, network and develop their professional skills. There are several groups across the nation, all developed as a reflection of the original group in Houston. TYP hosts events ranging from happy hours to networking lunches and bowling tournaments to “field trips” just for fun.
A group of about 25 young professionals spent Friday afternoon having fun in the sun, riding thrill rides and enjoying fresh seafood. TYP is just one more reason Transwestern is a great place to work.
After staying after school many times, I finally remembered my camera to take some close up photos of speakers and microphones, oh, how inventive :P
I left my office and I am hiding. I am doing this because I am 100% professional. This is where I am hiding. I am not going to tell you where I am.

Three Short Films and a Series of Images
The idea of photographing and documenting the Funeral directors was one that I found fascinating, this was mainly due to the lack of images seen on the subject previously and the little amount I knew about how they operate. I set out with the intention of creating a ‘traditional’ documentary series of images, but at the same time, a body of work that could be easily shaped into which ever output I found fit. Establishing the project concept quite quick was important to me, aiming to give myself the maximum amount of time in which to research and question funeral customs. Using books that highlighted British funeral rituals and articles that display social media’s influence on the documentation of wakes allowed me to fully inform my work.
During my time documenting those in the funeral industry I was able to photograph multiple funerals, pallbearers, crematorium workers, gravediggers and the deceased. I was fortunate to be able to photograph the preparation for a funeral, allowing me to see and capture the most sensitive moments. Whilst continuing to photograph the funeral directors and local services I was continually asking questions, always wanting to know more and find out the reasoning why things were done in such a way. This body of work has allowed me to give a compelling insight into the funeral industry, revealing the options we have after a death and the options most of us choose. Interviewing those who desire to work alongside death has hopefully provided a better explanation of why they are interested and intrigued by death, exploring their personal understandings of bereavement and the afterlife.
This dog was just fantastic. Loved him! These are from a mini-session I did at a local beach (which is quite the little find in my neck of the cold, Canadian, woods). :)
The water was actually really icky brown in the photos...I made it blue in Photoshop (couldn't help myself!)
