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.

"It has been said that science-fiction and fantasy are two different things: science-fiction, the improbable made possible; fantasy, the impossible made probable."
-Rod Serling - The Twilight Zone
" 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."

LOL! I love that quote! Great author. I was particularly impressed when he took issue with Fahrenheit 9/11, how he handled it. I seem to recall he also had an ongoing workshop for up and coming scifi authors for years and years.

Crap, I feel rather distraught as I had no idea he was still alive. About a year ago, I started writing letters to a few select folks whose work I favored who might not be around much longer (Clint Eastwood, for one). It's not something I do, ever, but hopefully my good wishes will some how be repaid in good karma, if nothing else. I somehow feel I failed myself with this new knowledge. Damn... Nice image though! (rebound! ;)
