A world of possibilities
Gary Logan traveled more than 3,000 miles to Chulucanas,
Peru, to report on a mission to provide care to sick
children by a medical team led by Johns Hopkins emergency
physician Karen Schneider ("Gracias,
Doctores"). The team saw more than 150 patients per day
during the two-week trip and treated tropical diseases
without many of the tools they rely upon in Baltimore. "I
was surprised by how resourceful they were," says Logan,
the associate director of communications and public affairs
for the Johns
Hopkins Children's Center. "You can't necessarily zero
in on one thing. You have to think about all of the
possibilities."
Warts and all
Will Kirk (A&S '99) knows Gilman Hall. As an English major,
Kirk endured a multitude of classes in the 90-year-old
Homewood landmark. A university staff photographer, he's
also shot countless portraits of students and faculty in
the Gilman vestibule and the "Hut." In photographing the
shabbily genteel building this time, Kirk aimed to show
some of Gilman's elegant interior details that often get
overlooked. "There are so many sterile buildings on
campus," Kirk says. "That's not Gilman. It really has a
personality and a beauty to it." Kirk, whose work has
appeared in New York Newsday and The Baltimore
Sun, is the official photographer of the National
Cornbread Festival, held each April in his hometown of
South Pittsburg, Tenn. — Maria Blackburn
