Having Fun, Inside and Out
A private
screening
Slasher films aren't exactly Michele A. H. Smith's cup of tea, so
she wasn"t quite sure what to expect when photographing Hollywood
horror movie director Wes Craven (MA '64) for
"The Big Question." Smith found she
needn't have worried. Craven wasn't scary at all, she says; in
fact, he was downright shy at the start. But the more the two
talked, the more they found in common: a past with varied jobs, a
strong work ethic. The Los Angeles-based Smith is regularly
called on to photograph celebrities (think: AbFab Girls, Larry
Flynt) and corporate CEOs. "I'm fun," she says. "All my photo
shoots end with a hug."
Science he can
dig
Growing up in St. Louis, Missouri, Baltimore writer Michael Purdy
passed many a summer afternoon poking around in the dirt. "I was
into bugs as a kid. I liked getting dirty," says Purdy, a media
representative for Homewood"s Office of Communications and Public
Affairs. So he was more than a little excited to visit the lab of
researcher Katalin Szlavecz--a scientist who spends her days
digging up, identifying, and classifying isopods, worms, and
other soil-dwelling creatures ("The
Rollicking Life of the Roly-Poly"). His favorite part of
reporting our story? The "huge jars of pickled earthworms" in
Szlavecz"s lab.--SD
