Justin Perry
Justin Perry, online co-editor-in-chief, photo editor
Justin is a senior this year. He is drum major of the band (meaning he has no life) and is always seen taking pictures - in fact, he probably has one of you. Some call it artistic, some call it plain creepy; it’s up for debate in some countries. He also provides portrait services, and is completely unashamed of this obvious business plug, which he will likely follow with a direct link to his web site, www.wix.com/jpparts/home. He can also tell the future. He spends his free time gardening 20 different kinds of raspberry and has started his own yogurt business.
