Start off with rough sketches to get an idea of positioning, angles and perspective.

Well, after lots of procrastinating, my brother and I finally gave Apollo Creed Travels the updated its needed. Even though it’s still a tad rough around the edges (we were pressured to launching today after Apollo hit up the Asheville Twestival), we’re pretty happy with how it turned out. Read more »

Apollo Creed hits up Douglas Falls

By Jim Jamesson on September 2nd, 2008 | Posted in Apollo Creed Travels | Permalink

Douglas Falls is a decently-cool little waterfall located in the Big Ivy area near Burnsville, NC. Much cooler during heavier rains and normal water tables, but still a good one for family types since the trail is level and short. We took Apollo but stupid fucking me failed to juice up my camera battery all the way and we were only left with a handful of images. Sorry guys. Nevertheless, scope them out:

If you\'ve been to Douglas Falls before you probably remember more water than this...

Apollo Creed this weekend

By Jim Jamesson on July 30th, 2008 | Posted in Apollo Creed Travels | Permalink

Man we are so excited we can hardly contain ourselves. This weekend may very well be the most kickass Apollo Creed weekend to date. It is going to rock out hard.

A special thank you to everyone that has been giving us Apollo ideas. We have a running list, and ask that you please bear (bare?) with us while we handle your request in the order it was received.

Thanks! Jim

Carl Weathers is the man

By Jim Jamesson on July 19th, 2008 | Posted in Apollo Creed Travels, Movies & Entertainment | Permalink

If Carl Weathers isn’t in your top 5 list of all-time awesomeness people, then you have issues. People forget, Carl Weathers actually won the fight in Rocky 1. People don’t realize that in Predator, the entire crisis would have been averted had it not been for Carl Weathers. But in the end, it was Carl Weathers realizing the scale of his mistake, and sacrificed his life to help out his fellow compatriot (Bill Duke), and allow the remaining bunch to get to the choppa.

Even today, Carl Weathers is still kicking major ass and trying to change peoples’ lives for the better. Watch these movies you will see what I mean: Visit Change is Beautiful w/ Carl Weathers >>

Apollo Creed North Face upgrade

By Jim Jamesson on July 19th, 2008 | Posted in Apollo Creed Travels | Permalink

Ok, to prevent having to backtrack 4 miles to find Apollo (oops) I had to upgrade my gear. This extremely secure harness system should prevent any further mishaps:Camelbak upgrade
