Justin Krane
Photographer
Justin is a twenty-three-year-old East Coaster, recently transplanted to Los Angeles, with only a vague sense of how he got there. He graduated a couple of years ago from Columbia University with a BA in English Literature, which he followed with one year's deferral from actual work, or a MPhil in Literature from the University of Glasgow in Scotland. After a four-month stint as a nanny/cook/chauffeur for a family out here, Justin now spends his days tutoring high school students, watching Food Network, trying to write some screenplays and some children's literature, and eating into the leftovers of his Bar Mitzvah money. When his downstairs neighbors decide not to get testy, he messes around on a guitar, which he's terrible at, and sings along, which he's worse at.
He likes traveling when he has the means (Italy, Germany, and across America, but open to any offers). He likes pretending that he can sing like Otis Redding; he likes whiskers, but not on kittens, and he's, more or less, just like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a spoon. When Justin was in 5th Grade, he made fun of a girl for being chubby, even though it was unwarranted and, to be honest, he was chubbier than she. He always has felt bad about that. How much info are we talking about in this? We could go on ... tell you some whoppers from his formative years, but we'll spare you this time.

Vincent Biunno
Photographer
This twenty-three year old shutterbug comes to Los Angeles via New York University and, more recently the Garden State. One never knows what to pack when going on a trip. So a camera, SAG card, and an acting addiction were the only things that made the move. As it's turned out, there are a few other actors in LA. Who knew? Luckily Vincent stands out or so says his mother. When not taking pictures, days are spent working as an intern, delivery guy, or whatever else might come his way. Los Angeles takes getting used to after an East coast upbringing. For instance, where are the diners and hairspray? There are so many unsolved mysteries in Los Angeles.
