PUBLICATION:
Few people realize that as a fine art photographer, Oluf pioneered “altered nature as an art form and flora as a media,” with “fragments of beauty.” He received international acclaim and was featured in the world’s largest fine art photo publications:
Photo Annual 1985, Fine Art Photography
Alaska Airlines Magazine Late 1980, Art Photos
Powder Magazine Late 1970, Skiing Photos
Astronomy Magazine November 1991, Eclipse Photo
American Style Summer 2001, Paintings
Time June 25, 2001, Keck and Stars Photo
Time September 4, 2006, Keck and Stars Photo
Oluf’s sunset shot of the orange Keck and NASA Observatories composited with Barney Magrath’s star photo has been published twice in Time Magazine, once in an article about the “beginning of the universe” and a second time in an article “about the end of the universe.” An important shot, evidently.
