Ira Gabriel, Westlake Village, CA Member Since February 2014 Artist Statement Photography has a way of capturing what sometimes can't be described in conversation. My passion is to see seconds in time through the lens of my camera. It may take me hours to study and take in the beauty and significance of a moment and then record it forever with a single image. Photography has been part of my world for more than 30 years both personally and professionally. I have found the most simple situations create the best photographic moments.
