I figure I shouldn’t blog just all the backlog from my York Dispatch days — I should also start blogging assignments from my York Daily Record/Sunday News assignments and so avoid even more backlog. (Yes, I’ve discussed this with my editor, and I have full approval.)
So here’s an assignment I shot last night: Mr. Northeastern High School.

When I first read the assignment, I wasn’t sure whether this was a serious pageant-like talent show. I was assured otherwise as soon as I arrived.
The story… and the extended caption:
The 10th annual Mr. NHS competition at Northeastern High School featured 10 senior boys who competed for the crown by campaigning during the previous week, performing in two choreographed group dances, displaying a personal talent and showcasing casual, swimwear and formal fashion. The competition, held on Thursday, May 26, 2011, in the school auditorium, raised money to benefit Leg Up Farm in Mt. Wolf.
