Plenty to do, if you know where to look
As an undergrad, Will Kirk, A&S '99, was never at a loss for things to do. He worked five jobs, studied full time at Hopkins, and took classes at Maryland Institute, College of Art. "I always saw Baltimore as more of a college town than a lot of people," says Kirk, the Hopkins photographer who shot "It Takes a Village — Charles Village — to Make a College Town." "I can understand why kids might think Baltimore doesn't have as much to do as New York, but I've liked Baltimore ever since I've been here." Kirk's work has also been published in The Baltimore Sun, New York Newsday, and The New York Daily News.

So you think you know local politics?
Michael Anft had long wondered about the prevalence of political pundits in news coverage. "I never put much stock in what these guys say," says Anft, who once covered city government for Baltimore City Paper. "What makes these guys experts?" But when he interviewed Matthew Crenson for "The Accidental Pundit," he came to appreciate Crenson's active mind and scholarly research. Says Anft, "He's got a good sense of the history of the political issues he's discussing." Anft — who contributes regularly to the Chronicle of Philanthropy, Hopkins Medicine, PressBox, and The Washington Post — lives in Towson with his family.
