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.

At least the ground is still straight; looks like the tree wanted to help the house to fall over... bit funny on that part.

Sad tale - it looks like it was once quite a lovely home. I love old buildings like this...it would be fun to go in and explore. Wonderful weathered textures here. Woah, I just noticed the tree...must be well constructed, lol.

Do you think this big tree is dead or the house help him to stay alive ???? Incredible shot and yes a perfect tittle Troy ! This house is really big. How many house in ruins there are in this area ? I think your serie could make a very good subject for a book, really. Superb as always. A very big Hug. V

mommavelvet9999
This is a really awesome find Troy! That is a really good question-how many homes are there? It sort of makes ya wonder.

I'm delighted, Troy,to see that your wonderful series about old houses is continuing !! :~)

To me this almost looks like an action scene. The tree (at first glance) seems to fall on the house, and all I'm waiting for is the big CRASH! You've illustrated PERFECTLY how a still can induce a whole move in someone's head. Just...I dunno...no word I guess that will suit. Just wanted to let you know this is an image I could look and think about for a long time. Great is not the word Troy, maybe 'inspiring' comes close. Have a great day! - Sabra

Even after a beating it still stands. A tribute to hard labor of workers from the past.

Troy, i would love to do a pen and ink drawing or 2 based on some of these images. So many strange mixed emotions about seeing all these old ghosts before they melt into the ether...
