DELAYS IN WIP

Hi everyone! Clayton Addison here, your Brooks NPPA President. I am
posting to apologize for the delays in getting Week In Pictures up
online. Me (Pres.), Mariah Tauger (VP), and the faculty adviser (Rick
Rickman) are all in Palo Alto, Calif. shooting the National Senior
Games. With all the insanity and daily 7am-midnight
shooting/editing/transmitting deadlines, getting to a WIP edit has
been tough. The games are officially over the 15th so we will be
getting back to a more timely update soon. PROMISE!! Please be patient
with me and us (the Brooks NPPA) as we will be a bit more efficient
once this craziness passes. Thanks!!

thank you for reading this and want to personally apologize for any

pictures, the videos, the print gallery and overall updating online.
This new system and site, though much easier to browse and maintain,
still have some bugs to work out. I take full responsibility for it
and ask that you please bare with me/us as we work out all these kinks
and get this site up to its fullest potential. THANKS!!
