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."

Excellent image and pose. Princeton physicist Gerard K. O'Neill envisioned very large space colonies in the form of immense rotating aluminum cylinders, the inner wall of which would be inhabited. These structures would be built of material mined from the Moon. The O'Neill colony is a structure 32 km long and 3.2 km in radius, and capable of permanently supporting hundreds of thousands or even millions of inhabitants. Normal Earth gravity would be achieved by rotating the colony at a rate of one revolution per 114 seconds. The interior of the cylinder would have three inhabited "valleys" each containing lakes, forests, towns, and so forth. Three large mirrors, capable of being opened and closed on a regular day/night basis, would shine sunlight into the valleys, and a large parabolic collector at one end of the cylinder would focus solar energy onto steam-driven generators to provide the colony's electricity needs. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Neill_cylinder for more information and artistic renderings of O'Neill's colonies.
