Silas Thurman and what could have been

This was a test shot. I was sitting there waiting on Erik Ruck to get his slow ass across the lake when the sun began to set. Silas Thurman was in town at the time and was there to “help out,” drive, set up, whatever.
Ruck and I built this tiny little rail for a sunset overhead shot looking down on the rail. We set up the rail and were ready to go, but Erik dipped out and ran into shore for a rope, or vest, or something he forgot. The idea of the shot was to shoot it right at sundown. We were all ready to go, just no Erik in sight.
This was a shot that could of been something dope, instead it’s Silas looking into the glassy distance waiting for Erik to show up. Kinda funny after the fact but damn, it would have been that much cooler if somebody was shredding that rail rather than somebody just sitting on it.

I still say that this is an awesome photo Joey. Its just perfect timing how Silas is looking to the sunset right as it was setting.
