Upon graduating from the Corcoran School of Art in 1993, Chad Dowling, who photographed Frannie Léautier in “Woman of the World,” left behind a life as a starving artist for a life as a starving commercial photographer. His work takes him from the outhouse to the White House, and everywhere in between. In addition to shooting for Prism, his images have appeared in numerous periodicals such as Travel & Leisure, the New York Times Magazine and Cigar Aficionado. Chad Dowling is based in Washington, D.C.

Pierre Home-Douglas, who wrote the profile of Frannie Léautier, which begins on page 32, lives in Montreal and has worked as a writer, editor and freelance writer since the early 1980s. He has edited more than 40 books, such as “Night Sky,” “Oceans, Reptiles and Amphibians” and “In Space” for publishers including Time-Life, Discovery Channel and Reader's Digest.  He has also written extensively for newspapers and magazines in the United States and Canada.

Illustrator Jon Keegan, who produced the beautiful cover “Turned On In Texas” and the opening illustration in “Booting Up,” has been creating drawings for more than 11 years for clients including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and U.S. News & World Report. You can browse through an extensive collection of his sketchbooks on his Web site,
