NFL International Series – London 2008 photos

Bit late with this post seeing as we’ve just entered 2009 and the regular NFL season is now over but I thought I’d post it anyway! Here are my photos from the NFL International Series 2008 game between the San Diego Chargers & New Orleans Saints at Wembley, my first ever life NFL game.

I was very happy with the result of the game (in case you didn’t watch it the Saints won!) it was a great game to watch overall, plenty of high powered offense on show although it was a shame Reggie Bush couldn’t make the game due to injury. The atmosphere at the game was excellent, I was bit worried about this but I was proved wrong in the end. The view from our seats was better than I expected too, I wasn’t too sure whether we’d be able to follow the game but we could make everything out very well. It’s a completely different experience as you get to see how every part of the play develops rather than just following what the TV cameras choose. Having said that I still watched the game again when I got home in case I missed anything!

Apart from it being my first ever live NFL game It was also my first time to Wembley, although it took bloody ages to build it is a fantastic venue! Roll on 2009 and the Patriots v Buccaneers!

Dolgoch Falls photos

Back in July me and Hel went for a walk round Dolgoch Falls near Abergynolwyn. I’ve just got round to putting the photos online.

New York City 2005 photos

I’ve finally uploaded the photos from my trip to New York City back in 2005 after being reminded by Rhys‘ recent trip to New York. In summary I had a fantastic time and can’t believe nearly 3 years have passed already. I can’t wait to go back! If you get the chance, go, you won’t regret it!

A few of my favourite photos are included below…

Alternative to iPhoto?

I’ll be retiring my trusty PowerBook G4 very soon and until I decide on what my next laptop will be I’ll be moving all my data onto my Windows XP desktop PC for the time being. I’ve been using iPhoto to manage all my photos so I’m now looking for a Windows based alternative. The first one I thought of was Google Picasa so I’ll try that out. Does anyone have any other recommendations?
