Final Project Idea

After my failed attempt to start a profile on a NJ Turnpike rest stop worker - I ran into trouble along the way - and the expansion of topics, I decided to look outside the Turnpike.

I still don't have a clear idea of what I want to do, but I may look into doing a story about the Camden Adventure Aquarium. Taking photographs probably won't be an issue aside from the light (and I'll just raise the ISO level) since tourists generally take lots of photos, but talking to somebody may be a bigger issue. I'll try to call the Aquarium, but that's about all I can do for now.

Sunday Parkour Sessions

The other day I tagged along with Rowan University's Parkour Club. For those wondering, Parkour is "the physical discipline of training to overcome any obstacle within one's path by adapting one's movement to the environment", according to the American Parkour website. A number of members came out to practice on Halloween.
