What I learned about loss while skateboarding at Costco. “What I love about Costco is that it’s the perfect expression of how skaters can turn even the dullest form of American architecture (the big parking lot) into a thriving community space.

Anon says about how you’d envision your wedding: “I’m divorced and don’t want to remarry, but I’m moving in soon with my partner of about a decade and I was thinking about throwing a ‘this isn’t a wedding’ housewarming party and wearing an outfit inspired by these fantastic white jumpsuits from the CoJ archives.”
Says Suz about how amazing these wedding photos are: “My favorite wedding photos were taken by a six-year-old who took his job (and his mom’s old digital camera) very seriously! He walked up to everyone at the reception and informed them that he was a wedding photographer. So, we have all these photos of people going ‘oh, how adorable!’ faces at the most unflattering angles possible. They are wonderful.”
