  The BABAR experiment has completed its first year of data-taking during which
21 $fb^{-1}$ of data were accumulated. We present preliminary results on two
types of charmless B decays based on this data sample. The first, $B^0 \to
K^{*0}\gamma$, is a so-called electromagnetic penguin. And the second, $B^0 \to
h^+h^{'-}$, where $h^{(')}$ can be either a pion or kaon, can come from either
penguin diagrams or Cabibbo suppressed tree diagrams.
