Really - we are nice people. Nice people who don't always take photos of babies and butterflies, but we're not trying to offend anyone. We expect the usual hate mail from gymnophobics (have been dying to use that word) but we didn't expect kick-back from funeral home directors. Ouch. Actually, we've done some pretty nice commercial work with funeral homes in the area, and we find them professional, well-dressed, and really really funny. These are all traits that probably suit their line of work well! In 2004 we were doing a collection of photos on a project called 'transitions' which showed the ambiguous area between life and afterlife. Hospitals were used, as were funeral homes. While the photos have been in circulation for about 7 years, they've recently been discovered by the funeral services community with mixed reaction based on the emails and phone calls.For the record: our work in these anonymous (seriously, how many people could make a positive ID on an embalming room!?) funeral homes was escorted, authorized, and reasonably respectful of the locations. We dropped only one Big Lebowski quote ("Yes sir. It is our most modestly priced receptacle...") and we're sorry for any offense or implied disrespect. Art is in the eye of .....We've worked an arrangement involving community service to the industry which we're optimistic about, and um... if you are ever in need of a good funeral home, we can make some recommendations...[/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type="1_1" background_position="left top" background_color="" border_size="" border_color="" border_style="solid" spacing="yes" background_image="" background_repeat="no-repeat" padding="" margin_top="0px" margin_bottom="0px" class="" id="" animation_type="" animation_speed="0.3" animation_direction="left" hide_on_mobile="no" center_content="no" min_height="none"]
