Laura, one of our members, suggested an outing to the Baltimore Museum of Art (thanks Laura!) to check out an exhibit there: Looking Through the Lens. Laura and I will be co-organizing this event. Please read all of the event info below before RSVPing.

About the exhibit
Baltimore Museum of Art
Looking through the Lens (through June 8)

Approximately 150 vintage prints by some of the world's best-known 20th century photographers are featured in this exhibition of iconic images by European and American artists such as Man Ray, Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Weston, Paul Strand, Dorothea Lange, and Gordon Parks. Drawn from the BMA's outstanding collection, these rarely shown photographs were produced during a pivotal period in the history of the medium -- when photography became fully recognized as an art form.
