If I could sum up Silas in one word it would be ‘prankster’. Whenever he’s around you you’re never feeling completely comfortable. He’s always scheming up some kind of trick or prank to pull…always. Never let your guard down because he will get ya. The one thing he does take seriously is his photography, and it shows. His quest for the ‘perfect’ shot, at times, tiptoes the line between dedicated and obsessed. It seems to be working for him…
