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.

Terrific and impressives shots, even if it's a fire "controled"... I'm always sad to see a fire, and to imagine the result... The light and luminosity is perfectly controled in these shots Troy, superb done. What do you mean writing that your serie of "ruins" has been cancelled ???? Because it's the end of the serie ? I love it !!!! Have a wonderful day my friend. Hugs. V

Change of gear! Controlled fire, does that mean you did it yourself just to take this shot? ;-) Well, you did a great job here anyway, the trees are magnificent with this fireglow, great shots buddy!

This is amazing to watch. The fireman did a controlled burn on the old house next to us. Trouble is, after they left the barn caught fire 6 hours later! Great job capturing the glow! :0)

This controlled burn was conducted by the landowner (not me), who is burning debris that has been cleared from a small area at the edge of this wooded area, to increase his farmable land. The burn never did get out of control. Fortunately (in the event it had it become out of control) it is directly across the field from our rural fire department.

Shivers went up my spine as soon as I saw this! The colors are fabulous! Our downtown caught fire last week & we could see that same glow over the top of the city for hours! We live about 15 min. out of town too, so it was a pretty big one! Glad you were able to catch these brilliant colors!!!!
