Igor: Walk this Way
Written By Trevor Moran on September 13th, 2010 with 1 Comment.
No, THIS way…
Is it just me, or is it impossible not to make fun of a storm named Igor? Probably won’t be as funny when a category 5 storm nails the East Coast, but until then we have a full week to get in the Igor jokes.

His name was Earl

Danielle was beautiful. We saw her the moment she walked into the room. She paced around for a bit, then finally set her line, eyeing us up from across the bar. There hadn’t been too much action recently, so naturally we walked over, bought her a drink. We invested a lot of time getting to know Danielle, dumping time and money into her, really interested in where she was going next. We had heard from trusted sources that she was gonna be hanging out for a bit, and was really into having a good time with us. She said…
My first contest win in 8 years
Written By Trevor Moran on August 27th, 2010 with 8 Comments.
Nevermind that its been the better part of a decade since I won a contest. Nevermind the contest I won wasn’t against any top east coast surfers. Nevermind the contest I won didn’t really involve other surfers period. I won dammit.
What I did win was a photo contest. Actually a reasonably big one, and I really thought I had no shot. Its the International Photography Awards which usually has a pretty big pool of entries. Although I haven’t shot much of it recently, I felt like my underwater work is usually something people stop and look at more…
You’ll never guess where I’m blogging from!!!

I’ll give you a big hint: its an airplane. *–)–
Just like the first time you got a call from someone in a car, of if you were one of the 37 people to ever use the phones they installed in airplane seatbacks, there is kinda a bit of a thrill for my first wifi session at 35,000 feet.
I’m en route to LA for a few days for a commercial shooting job – apparently I’m going to have some acting role in the commercial…. we’ll see if that pans out. Was not stoked to get up at 5…
Nightrider Tow-Ats on ESM.com
Written By Trevor Moran on August 4th, 2010 with 3 Comments.
Two weeks ago there was a “nightrider tow-at” event held at the Ortley Beach Surf Club. I went up there to celebrate Jamie’s birthday as well as shoot some photos of the boys. I’d shot these events in the past, and ususally the photos end up sucking. Although the lights on the beach look really bright, for stopping action surfing, they do nothing. So this year I actually planned ahead, and brought a high powered flash, complete with lead battery backpack, and handed it off to my Slave Charlie. This year, finally the technique worked and I was able…
Dark Fall Premiere Photos
Written By Trevor Moran on July 20th, 2010 with 2 Comments.
In case you’ve been living under a rock in a cave on Mars with your ears plugged, you probably know that Dark Fall had its world premiere showing the other night in Atlantic City. The House of Blues sold out – which is rumored nearly 2,000 people came out. Pretty sure I saw everyone in the entire Jersey surf community there, which I still find truly amazing. Speaking of amazing, ASG killed it. I heard Jumpship rocked too, but I missed it since I was putting away my gear.
If you saw me and my camera wondering around, check…
Margate Tow Ats
Written By Trevor Moran on July 1st, 2010 with 4 Comments.
This past Saturday, Heritage teamed up with some of the Surfers Candy boys and held a Tow At demo at Beachstock in Margate. Although the waves were small and winds onshore, the demo went off pretty well. Kevin Richards was hyping the crowd on the mic hooked up to the radio truck, Gesler and Jamie shared duties driving the ski and Zack, Ian Bloch and Ben Graef shredded the slop. KR crowned Ian winner of the non-contest being the only one to actually land any sort of boost. All in all not a bad way to spend a Saturday…
The Andrew Gesler Experience
Written By Trevor Moran on June 24th, 2010 with 2 Comments.
This week, things have finally slowed down in the commercial photo world for me. Aside from doing a ton of laundry, paying a lot of over due bills, and actually visiting a grocery store, I decided it’s time to buckle down and start creating new work for myself. I tried my damnedest to get some shots during International Surfing Day since its the one day a year you can get a shot run without there being any waves. But when I got down to the beach to shoot, I got bummed out because the waves were oh so awful….
In other news

To the average passerby, I can seem like quite a pessimist at times, not going to get into the details, but deep down I think I’m really an optimistic person. I’m the kind of person that always searches for the bright side of a situation, no matter how grim the details are. I proved this once again when I began thinking about the oil pumping into the gulf right now.
No doubt its a terrible situation. Not only is it bad for the environment, killing all kinds of wildlife and covering the beaches in a gross slick, but like…
