Also, there's some strange and non-sense photos on your team's Flickr, you might want to look into having some rules in place on what is allowed to be uploaded to the team flickr account. It seems like someone just uploaded whatever was on their SD card instead of going through and choosing the best photos.

But despite that, really awesome website. It looks clean, and scales well from desktop and phone. Great job!
The photos page is maybe my least favorite page to the website. It's hard to find a decent solution to host locally that works across all devices. As a result, we use FlickrIt which lets us embed our Flickr photostream to that page.

We mostly use our Flickr as somewhere to backup our photos, we decided to include it on the website since we often are asked for photos by others at our school or in the community. Since we upload a lot of photos to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, those are our outlets for our more curated photos.

It also comes down to the fact that we take a lot of photos (ex. this season has nearly 3,000 photos and we actually haven't uploaded in a while) so curating every single photo would be a massive hassle.

Thank your for your feedback! I'm going to keep this in mind and look for other solutions for our photos page.
