Demotix | Alex Farris Photo Blog

I'm sure that somewhere down the road, I'll put together a strictly-stills photo story on the Super Bowl in Indianapolis for my portfolio. For now, though, I've decided to put the audio and video I gathered in the last week and a half (which started out as just snippets to remember the experience by) to good use in the multimedia story below. This week has been wonderful for my city, and I hope this gives you a good idea of how much went on downtown, both in the Village and elsewhere on game day.

(If the file below is too big for you, you can watch it on YouTube.)

Be careful. This is new HTML5 territory, so depending on your browser, the controls that the video serves you might not work. If that's the case, click directly on the video to play and pause it. Oddly enough, though, the scrubber will still work.

Unless you tried really, really hard to not be a part of American culture last night and this morning, you already know that the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots 21-17 in Super Bowl XLVI in my home town of Indianapolis. I'll be working on a multimedia project in short order, but for now here are some more photos from this week, all of which also appear on Demotix here, here, here, here and here.

As a native of Indianapolis, I both never thought this could happen and knew deep down that we could do it.
