My name is Oliver - Retro among friends - and from my point of view the world started existing on November 9th 1971, I have the honor of being a citizen in the Kingdom of Denmark and I've lived most of my life in the royal capital of Copenhagen. I've had many jobs over the years; from serving in the King's Own Artillery Regiment at the end of the Cold War to dance club security at the beginning of the 21st century, but 5-years apprenticeship in the late 90's means that I can call myself photographer. I've never really liked labels, but I needed something to put on my business card so today I call myself "Independent Photographer/3D Artist/Freelance Writer" but the truth is that I see myself more as an observer who use photography, 3D art and short stories to present the rest of the world to my vision of it.

" Now, if this was a science fiction movie, this is the part where the brilliant boy genius that everybody has been ignoring up to this point, pipes up and tells the balding Captain that by cross linking the Warp Core, the Impulse engine and a reverse framistat, then dividing the warp field lattice by the square root of last Tuesday, he can get them all home."

Was a seriously cool piece of machinery. My father told me once about how a local kid who went Air Force and flew the B-36 "buzzed" his parent's house in Farmersburg, just south of my folks farm. He came in so low the airflow from that beast broke some of the branches on trees causing a real mess all over town. He got a write up in his file for that one.

The B-36 is a very impressive aircraft. Never used in combat. Saw one at the USAF Museum in Dayton, OH--well worth the trip if you like aircraft.

As a kid I can remember this being one of the last images in a history of flight book, representing the latest in aviation design. Probably an old book even when I was looking at it because I'm sure the B-52 existed at that time. Regardless, I was very impressed with it. That cockpit seemed so futuristic at the time. Good job modeling.
