First, what do you think are the basic facts about Max Wanger?

I was born and raised by reformed hippies. I was educated in Los Angeles, Berkeley, Honolulu and Tokyo. I love hot tea, negative space and soba, hot or cold, it doesn’t matter.

You’re a commercial and wedding photographer, but what are moments or emotions you really love to capture?

The unexpected.

You love mismatched socks - anything else that always catches your eye or inspires you?

Rodney Smith’s compositions. Tim Walker’s whimsy. Jamie Oliver’s passion. Good music. New York. Little kids who are way cooler than me.

Are there are any fellow pinners you recommend following?

A few of my faves: Oh Joy, Sarah Rhoads, DesignLovefest, Bonnie Tsang, and Erin Loechner.

How do you use Pinterest?

I’m a relative newbie, but I’m completely obsessed. I’ve been putting images into folders for years and it’s been an unorganized mess. Now I have this amazing resource where I can be totally organized and inspired daily. Whether it’s for work or for personal stuff, it’s really become my online journal that I reference multiple times a day. One thing I particularly love is that it’s a way for me to discover new blogs because every pinned image directs you to the original site. I think that’s amazing.

Thanks for sharing Max - can’t wait to see more of your pins!
