Photojournalist Kenneth Wajda (“Through the Looking Glass, pg. 26) has been capturing stories with a camera since 1987. He was a staff photographer at a New Jersey daily newspaper before moving to Colorado in 2001. He now works as a freelance photographer, going wherever the story takes him. In this case, it was his home — Lyons, Colo.
Information graphics specialist David Foster (“Go Green, Maroon,” pg. 34) spent 18 years at PC Magazine before going freelance. A former graphics editor for Fortune, his clients have also included BusinessWeek, Billboard, GreenSource, Mashable, Canon, HP, Money, Architect magazine, American Express, and many others.
Mike Agresta (“A Nobel pursuit,” pg. 70) has written about culture and technology, from Sinead O’Connor and television as a literary form for The Atlantic, to the future of the paper book in Slate, to vulnerability in electronic voting systems for the Wall Street Journal. He also contributes to several university magazines.
Chicago journalist Anne Stein (“A family business,” pg. 49) writes for a number of alumni magazines, including her own — Grinnell College — making her a big fan of small, liberal arts schools. She also specializes in sports features and is a staff writer for the Chicago Bulls magazine. Her work has appeared in ESPN, the LA Times, People, and other publications.
