NEIL BURGER photographer Credentials: Food photographer Neil Burger freelances as a digital- asset manager for businesses and photographers while shooting for clients like McDonald's and Celestial Seasonings. Behind the story: "I knew that working with Fabio Viviani would be a real pleasure ["Back to Siena," page 95]. His beautifully prepared food—and stunning good looks— made my job all too easy." Family trait: "My father owned a printing company in the South Loop and was a professional photographer himself. He instilled in me a love of photography." Seasonal plans: "Every November my family and I take a trip to Door County in northern Wisconsin and stay at the same small bed-and- breakfast nestled among the local maple, elm, and spruce trees." LISA SKOLNIK writer Credentials: Lisa Skolnik has written for dozens of major newspapers and magazines and authored 15 books. She was born in zip code 60615, grew up in 60637 and 60625, raised four chil- dren in 60613, and now lives in 60657. Behind the story: "James Letchinger is an incredibly hum- ble, egalitarian guy, which I think is the secret to his success ["The Comeback King," page 131]. He listens to people, is always ready to lend a helping hand, and is so collaborative with his part- ners." Cold-weather clothing: "Down! I love the fact that it's utili- tarian, lightweight, and can be so chic done right." Seasonal plans: "I love the Lyric Opera and have been a subscriber since 1979. And this promises to be its most color- ful, wildly romantic season yet." PHOTOGRAPHY BY MILLIE FELDER (FELDER) …WITHOUT WHOM this issue would not have been possible Photo: Maureen Schulman.
