Photography by John Silveira
Issue #150 • November/December, 2014

When he’s not busy writing for Backwoods Home Magazine, John Silveira pursues his passion: photography. He regularly captures once-in-a-lifetime shots, simply by always carrying his camera and noticing his surroundings.

John took all these pictures within a mile of the BHM office. As you can see, the mouth of the Rogue River in Gold Beach, Oregon, is a place teeming with wildlife.

After posting some of his pictures online and receiving a flood of compliments, John saw the opportunity to expand his passion into a side business. He now sells framed and unframed prints of his photographs at www.johnsilveira.com.
