Built in 1888 the Courthouse is seen as one of the oldest buildings in Oregon still used for it's original purpose

Ed Eply has been advocating Climate Change in Corvallis for the passed 18 years. "There is always at least one person out here on Thursday evenings. It's a little bit harder to get interactions during the winter because it gets dark earlier, but during the day when people see us, about 75 percent of the interaction we do get is positive." 

Jessica Bailey poses with her final print of lily flowers during the Corvallis Arts Walk at The Arts Center in Central Park.
This particular print went through a process from a photograph to a sketch, to a drawing, to an outline on wood and lastly carving and being pressed by multiple people (because of it's size. "About 450 hours not including the actual printing." 

Suite 0 - Your Local, Curated Vintage Shop

Suite 0 , located on the 300 block of Monroe Avenue, Corvallis, Oregon launched mid 2018.

Owners Mike Turner and Gabriel Noller, both local to Corvallis, combined their mutual passion for eccentric, authentically paired clothing items fulfilling a unique niche in Corvallis' street wear and community culture.













When you walk into Suite 0's store front at 314 SW Monroe Ave., you're welcomed by a warm, spaciousness filled with iconic images, patterns pleasing your eyes around the room.


The movement of the room, centering around a communal "living room" in the middle, allows employees and customers alike to be comfortable and creative.

Mike and Gabriel's motivation for opening this curated clothing store is rooted in not only inspiring consumers to create and blend their own style with new styles and old, but to also shop more mindfully.

 In the world-wind of fast fashion and instant gratification of online shopping, our clothing waste is and was, one of the worlds largest sources of pollution.

"Re-purposing and bringing new life to clothing" is one of the best ways to lower your contribution to clothing pollution, in addition to donating. "It's helps to know where you're donating and how (that organization) is making a difference in the community" comments Mike.

In addition to providing Corvallis a place to explore individual style and sell or trade in clothes, they host a variety of music and noise shows that are all ages.

"Providing a neutral space for artists to perform, commune and bring their families is really neat to see and support. A lot of the artists have thanked us so much because many of them are older and have kids, and there really isn't many places that hold all age shows.The only environments for that shouldn't just be in bars or party venues." -Mike Turner

Josh Haner, a graduate from Stanford University with a B.A. in Studio Art (photography) and a B.S. in Symbolic Systems, works as a staff photographer and senior editor for photo technology at The  New York Times.

He has had his work published, focusing on environmental climate change, some film work and photo journalism published in The National Geographic, The New York Times, The Rollingstone, Newsweek, Times and many others.

His most recent work study has been focused on travelling around the world documenting the effects and progression of climate change on both the people, the land and the animals of our earth. https://www.nytimes.com/by/josh-haner

His most notable claim to fame in his photo-journalist career is his story of Jeff Bauman, who was a victim to the Boston Marathon Bombings on April 15th, 2013. He followed Jeff's recovery and personal life, which later Jeff co-wrote the movie "Strong" with Jake Gyllenhal portraying him. Haner won the Pulitzer Price for Feature Photography for his documentation of Bauman's recovery.

Haner lives in San Francisco, and has been working at The New York times since 2006. His environmental justice work is at the forefront of his career with a mix of both video and photographic documentation. His ability to capture and reveal the facts, and write beautifully articulated pieces without bias is a skill of importance that I think many can look up to and learn from.

I chose to look into Josh's work because of his environmental focus, as well as his ability to pair it with writing and level-headed involvement with really poignant situations. The way he captures the people, changes, progression of our environment is raw and human, leaving a sense of anticipatory inspiration in the viewer.

My favorite photo is the above photo of Toobeen playing in the water on rebar in front of an old, wrecked boat. I think that Haners dedication to documenting climate change will be what he is best known for, especially as time goes on and the relevance and need for unbiased, factual and heart wrenching, or touching, photos of what is going on. The photo of Toobeen revealed to me the impact of humans interaction and use of land, and also how neglectful we are. Children in this surge of climate awareness, seem to be acting as not only the most effective speakers of the subject, but also the most humbling.
