A panoramic image of Oculus Station in Manhattan. It is a vast and inspiring structure. The viewing platforms visible on either end of this image, give the impression that there is a chasm or canyon between the two sides.

Richard Vandegriend is a self-taught Vancouver based photographer whose passion is landscape and fine-art photography. Believing that composition and timing are critical to a great image, compositional elements are not altered in post-processing. Instead care and patience are exercised to ensure the image was captured perfectly in camera. As landscape photography is so dependent on lighting and weather conditions, more often than not, great images are discovered rather than planned. One must give themselves the time and opportunity to discover these images.
