Beyond photography, Silas has a diverse set of interests, including a passion for words and verbiage. Here are a few examples that reflect his approach to art and photography:

Contre-jour: This French term, meaning 'against daylight,' describes a technique where the camera is directly pointed toward the light source, creating unique and captivating visual effects.
Bokeh: Pronounced 'boh-kay,' this word, derived from the Japanese for 'blur,' is used to characterize the aesthetic quality of the blur in out-of-focus areas of a photograph, adding a touch of magic to the image.
The Sacred Realm: Silas's approach to photography involves capturing the hidden and intangible aspects of life that can't be seen with the naked eye, revealing the sacred and the unseen.
