At the turn of the century, Gabriel met the love of his life and they were married only a few days later. He spent the next two years photographing her almost exclusively. He placed her as the jewel at the centerpiece of rose gardens, forests, and ocean sunsets.
In the following years, their three children were born, providing Gabriel with a new muse –family. Then early one morning in 1906, the Moulin family was literally shaken from their sleep by the worst earthquake in US History. Gas and water mains exploded, buildings collapsed and mouth-like fissures swallowed horses and carriages whole. In all, 3,000 people would lose their lives to this tragic event. And Gabriel was there with his camera to capture the carnage. The photos from this event and the subsequent rebuilding of San Francisco sparked the imagination of millions and earned Gabriel some valuable patronage. In 1909, he received a telegram invitation from William Hearst to join him at his castle on the McLeod River. The meeting led to a bizarre assignment and a friendship that would last for decades. What followed was a series of invitations that literally punctuated history as Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Alexander Graham Bell erupted onto the scene and commissioned photographs for Moulin. By the 1920s, Gabriel’s sons had joined the family business and created new opportunities for experimentation and invention. They took to the skies.
