Photographs
Photographs are a great way to show your handiwork at its best.
PHOTOGRAPHY HAS BEEN USED WIDELY IN MASONRY
Photography has been used widely in masonry and other construction for some time. From documenting the work site and problem areas to taking a last shot of that finished, polished building, photographs are a great way to show your handiwork at its best. As most businesses are, the masonry industry is very conscious of labor, time and money management. While there are not necessarily disadvantages to continuing to use film photography, digital cameras pose quite a few advantages that will help mason contractors get "from A to B" in less time and with less expense.
A Comparison
"WE ARE CERTAINLY NOT opposed to people using film," explains Andrew LaGuardia, Senior Manager of Corporate Communications for Fujifilm USA. "While our future and current focus is really on digital and moving that category ahead, we'll remain committed to film. What it comes down to is which medium best meets the needs of the user."

Industry Leaders Agree Mortar Net is The Best Choice for Moisture Management.
"We use Mortar Net whether it's specified or not. It eliminates callbacks and ensures the cavity drainage system always works... Mortar Net allows our masons to concentrate on what they do best, laying brick better and quicker, without worrying if the wall drainage system has been kept open." -Louis Puig. Sr., A.LL. Masonry" "Employs more union masons than any other mason contractor in the U.S.
