What’s your stance on long contracts in TV? A friend signed a seven-year deal on a show, and now they’re stuck even though the project fizzled out. Would you sign a long-term contract for security?

That would depend on where I’m at in my career. Earlier on, I would have loved any shred of stability and security. Later, I wouldn’t want to be locked down and potentially miss better opportunities over it.

It’s hard to turn down steady work for that long, I guess it would depend on how often you’re getting work and if a job this long would be good for you your career or not.

That’s very long, may be good for security but a little worrying to ask for that much up front

Anybody here have a Canon R and thinking about the R6 Mk 2? I'm debating. Biggest negative for me is the drop from the 30 mp sensor down to the 24 mp sensor. I don't do alot of "action" photography so many of the enhanced R6 features won't get used alot. I don't do video.

I think ISO is better in the R6 Mk 2. I do miss the joystick on my old 7D. IS seems greatly improved.

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
