A year ago, the real champs cut down the nets at the Final Four in Indianapolis. A team like the 2010 Blue Devils (and a class-act player like Nolan Smith) cutting down the nets was more fulfilling than watching the Huskies do the same last night – amidst allegations and sanctions.
March Madness has officially started, and like many Duke fans… I’m holding out hope for an ending like last season. For memory’s sake, check out the below video – Duke’s victory over Butler back in Indy. How sweet it was.

I completely forgot to upload some of my photos from Final Four weekend in Indianapolis. I know I posted this video of the weekend, but I never put up the photos. The whole set is over on Flickr, and some of my favorites are below.
I opened a Vimeo account this weekend, and I also finished a short video from our trip to the Final Four in Indianapolis. I couldn’t have asked for a more exciting championship game, with Butler being led by Brad Stevens – a former Zionsville Eagle. I recorded pieces of this video with my 5D Mark II – using my f/2.8 24-70mm. Most of the pictures were taken with the same lens, with the exception of a few I took with my f/2.8 15mm fisheye. I don’t shoot much video with my 5D, but I was glad I caught the last seconds of this game. It’s taken me about a month, but… better late than never. I posted an HD-quality version of the video on YouTube (click here) and on Vimeo (click here) – so you can see them both there. Without a Vimeo Plus account, HD embedding is disabled, so we will see what this looks like when I put it within the post. Enjoy.

After the Duke vs. Wake Forest game on Sunday night, we took a long stroll around campus and even drove over to East Campus. It had been raining all day, and the fog / overcast weather gave the sky a dense feeling against the campus buildings and the Chapel. The sky definitely made for some great shots.
We ran into a photographer who had the same idea – he was roaming around the Chapel snapping a few pictures. Shane was a great guy, and we enjoyed our brief chat with him. You can find he and his wife at their site: Kit Kirk Photography. (Be sure to click below this picture to see more photos)

It rained all day Sunday (until our walk after the game). Luckily, we had great weather on Saturday and Monday. We stopped into Perkins Library, the Bookstore, the Chapel and the Sarah P. Duke Gardens. I had to pull an all-nighter and drink a couple Red Bulls (for old times’ sake) just to get myself to walk by the engineering buildings too.
