woohoo. so I had my first interview, with a skateboarder (and photographer) who goes to the Owen Bell skate park frequently. this also counts as my first interaction so I'm hoping that my next visit to the skate park will feel a little less awkward and I'll talk to a few more people. though Joe and I basically hadn't talked since middle school, it was pretty casual and not as uncomfortable as I anticipated. It made me happy that Joe seemed to be very accepting of all skaters (of all ages/gender) because I was half-expecting to hear about ageism (not necessarily from his perspective, but just in general at the skate park). I liked hearing about the community at the skate park and in the skateboarding world.
However I do feel that I could have had more of a structure or theme to my questions. It wasn't the interview itself that did it but just my uncertainty with my project so far. Joe provided me with some good information so I need to spend some time analyzing his answers as well as researching for the literature review to try and find a smaller focus! hmmmmdhfuimshdufami
