Silas
‘I'm an optimistic cynic, I suppose. I believe things will, in many ways, get worse. But I think the fundamental part of humanity is empathy. And I would like to believe that there will come a time when that becomes a more important thing in our society and leads to some good.’
We live in a time where there is a higher level of interconnectedness of information than ever before, yet things have never been so segmented, we draw imaginary lines in the sand, through zoning, suburbs, departments, and on and on ad infinitum.
How does one conquer the towering peaks and cavernous trenches of the modern world if we can't even agree that what is essential to live should not be commodified? And that perhaps a 2.6m x 4.9m slab of concrete for a car to sit on is not the best use of public space.
Silas works in the not for profit space, he has a degree in photography majoring in photojournalism but does not consider himself a photographer. He has a deep passion for cycling culture and storytelling in any form.
