Max Piper is in his second year of high school, and has liked photography for a few years and likes to shoot pretty much anything that appeals to him. This includes surfing, nature/scenery, and sports. He took journalism because he wanted to be involved in the school and take more photos to learn more about photography. In addition, Max goes around the Carlsbad/Encinitas area to taste different tacos with other Journalism students every other week. Some of his favorite bands are the Grateful Dead, Widespread Panic, the Doors, and Phish. To expand his gallery of photos, Max connects his hobbies of photography and surfing with travel.
