How do I keep the text from the 'about' section tight with the 'profile-photo'

How can I close up the gaps between my sections in this code? 

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) { /*small devices, smart phones landscape*/
/*  TWO COLUMN LAYOUT */
    #primary {
        width: 50%;
        float: left;    
    }
    #secondary {
        width: 40%;
        float: right;   
    }

    /* Gallery Page(INDEX.HTML) */

    #gallery li {
        width: 28.3333%
    }

    /* Profile Picture(about.html) */
    .profile-photo {
        float: right;
        margin: 0 0 80px 5%;
    }

}

        <div id="wrapper">
            <section id="primary">
                <img src="img/profile.jpg" id="profile-photo">

            </section>
            <section id="secondary">
                <p>ABOUT 1</p>
                <p>ABOUT 2.</p>
            </section>
        </div>
        <footer>
        </footer>
    </body>
</html>

Hi John! Don't forget to add three back-ticks, ```, before and after your code so that it will display properly. I went ahead and edited your post here for you. :)

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this, but if you want your columns to appear closer together, you can try lowering the left margin in your .profile-photo class.
