Yup! What can I say? It seemed appropo to post a pic of myself here too.
BIO
Troy Mathisen
...began his professional career as a recording engineer in 1977.
Shortly thereafter, he expanded into providing concert sound-reinforcement and technical support services for many "internationally-renowned" performing artists.
After a couple years of doing concert sound around the Pacific Northwest, he moved to Hollywood California, to enhance his education and experience in audio and music recording and production, for the film, television and record industries.
After 5 years with Paramount Recording Studios as a technician and audio engineer, he began his education in computer music production and graphic design.
Two years later Troy was avidly educating himself in 3D modeling, rendering and animation development and production, while working as a recording engineer for Buena Vista Sound at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank California.
By 1990, he was working as a soundtrack composer and music producer, while obtaining an education in simulation and virtual reality technologies.
Two years later he was working extensively in video engineering and production, giving occasional dissertations to college students on virtual reality environment engineering and computer music development and production for film and video.
In 1995, Troy devoted his full time to learning Internet and web-based technologies.
By 1997, he was functioning as Director of Internet and Multimedia Development for a high-tech telecommunications firm in the bay-area of central California.
To this day Troy continues to design and build intelligent web application software and information distribution systems, as well as focusing as much time as possible on his two greatest loves - the arts and sciences.

Very interesting and sad shot..... with a fantastic postwork Troy ! What can be done ???? If every one do small things... I'm shure we could all do something to save our little planet. The problem is that too many persons think that the others must do something... and not us ! There will be so much to say about this problem. And your shot is a good way to think seriously !!! Thank you for that Troy !

I assume this ice. it almost looks like blue smoke. had an eerie look. tell about electric. the utility company here in Texas asked and got two big rate increases this year and now they have reported the largest profit in history. the reason nothing changes about energy is most of the board of directors and major stock holders are politicians or have very strong ties

What you see behind the apparition of a skull is oil floating on water, in the middle of a wetland.

I agree with it ALL! My kids & I walk the streets twice a month & pick up trash. Our electric rates went up twice here too. $286. monthly bill is CRAZZZY! But Troy, how do we "cut them off" of their power? Anyways, this shot almost hurt my heart. A slight pain. You captured our world at its worst.

Mysterious image... World public opinion is the ultimate superpower if only we can agree on a course of action... Agreeing is the difficult part ;-)

Powerful image and message! I agree, we need to address this problem more fully before it is too late!

I sure wouldnt mind free electricity...especially not now when we have temperatures down to -22F...sigh...instead the swedish government are saying that there isnt enough electricity so that they might even have to turn it off completely at random places to save power. If they did that now...id surely freeze to death, lol. Cool layering-work btw...very creepy!!! Have a great one Troy! #:O)

Too bad when people do not take their responsibility taking care of the earth we did not only inherit but the same earth that will be inherited by our offspring! Excellent work, Troy! :)

Can you say TESLA? National Public Radio had a "Science Friday" program today about "Nuke" power generating plants. It should be called Science Fiction Friday! They talked about HORRORS like The Three Mile Island accident as if they were really no big deal--It was clear that according to them, miscarrages,cancer,mutated wildlife, poisoned water,air and food are acceptable collateral damages. We all have to use less. We have no choice. We can start by simply unplugging our computers from electricity when not in use! If we cut down demand for electricity, the powers that be can't keep building more plants. Don't even get me started on the lie of so called "Clean Coal Burners" might as well just say : "Smart Idiot"... Thanks Troy...
