Hey, I’m Nicolas Wood. I am a senior, this is my third year on staff, and I am a head photographer. The past two years on in newspaper have been really fun and I’ve improved a ton. Outside of school I play baseball, travel, and do photo commissions. This year I’m exited to take as many pictures as possible and help my team as much as I can.
