Gordon Kelsley, the outgoing and fun manager of Oak Vale Apartments in Corvallis, displays his weapon of choice for breaking up parties and noise complaints. Gordon takes great care of his tenants and does not use outsource for any help, everything is done in house. There is a closer relationship between the tenants and employees here than most other complexes around, plus they have some of the lowest rates in Corvallis. So if you're looking for an apartment call Oak Vale, or just drop by.

The photo I found on flickr is of a Marine sharing a warm moment with an Iraqi child. This photo shows a different perspective of the war and whats going on overseas. Just shows the playfulness of a child can warm the heart of a hardened Marine at war. I also liked the color in this photo, the Marine blends in well with the brown environment while the child stands out against the background.

Feature: Back to the Basics

Graphic design major Mark Meadows, 21, from Hillsboro, sits back in the shadows of his art room at his apartment in Corvallis, Oregon, to asses his newest pastel piece. A 3d sphere is drawn with a combination of blues and in a basket style cross hatch pattern. Mark during the day attends classes at LBCC, and works for OSU as a graphic designer making ads and fliers for campus events. At night, Mark, enjoys stepping away from the computer art and likes to create things by hand, the old fashioned way late Thursday night, 1/15/09.

Photo Critique: Cool race shot from brazil off flickr

I really think this is a sweet shot, because it looks like its early in the race and the 3rd place rider looks a bit crossed up and trying to prevent landing on the rider in front of him. I also like the color the picture was shot/edited , its a calm color with an intense scene going on and probably wasnt the hardest to capture since the action is coming towards the photographer so the photographer did not have to pan as much if at all.
