Serious question, our local code now requires expansion joints every 20 feet on brick facades, and the crew is divided.

Some guys say it PREVENTS cracking from temperature swings, but others argue it just adds more seams and weak points, so what's your call?

PSA: A loose film advance knob ruined my beach day shots

I was out shooting waves and didn't notice the knob had come a bit loose. Every time I wound the film, it slipped and didn't catch properly (total bummer). Got the whole roll back from the lab completely blank, just clear strips. Now I give that knob a little wiggle test before I load up. Cost me a day of photos but hey, lesson learned.

Appreciation post: Noticing more chat about taking care of our hands these days

Yeah that's so true. I used to just tough it out too, but @spencergonzalez is right about them being your first tools. Makes way more sense to look after them.

Spoilers are a big deal to some of us, actually.

Heard our town might require certified installers for new builds. Good or bad?

Wish they'd made me get certified before ruining my own floors.

Warning: Apprenticeship meant hours of mixing dye, but now I see it built my foundation.

Yeah it's wild how the most boring parts teach you patience! Nobody talks about that grind training your focus for the harder stuff later.
