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.

Another detail which I adore!!! In my gallery you can see one of my trees preferred with gigantic roots. When I was small, I believed that during the night the trees worked and changed place LOL... Excellent impressiv photo and very original our beautiful natural mother!!! Well done my friend... good weekend and kiss for you and your family ;)

This could easily be called a conceptual surrealistic work of art. Which makes it all the more amazing that you found and saw this right there as it was... Terrific capture Troy, hats off to you!

Great picture Troy. Is that a face in the upper left glass pane? Another fantastic shot.
NekhbetSun
Yeah, where did that face come from? doesn't look like you, or is it???...regardless, this is outstanding work...a lot can be read into this work too...beyond excellent capture S (((Troy)))
tmathise
OK, busted! There is indeed a very faint impression of my face superimposed into the upper-left windowed pane. Very observant of you Claudia, you were the first to notice (or at least speak up about it). I thought it would be an extremely subtle effect to add to the impact of the image, as well as its title. It is - after all - April Fool's Day!

Mummmmmmm I love this one ! You've got an incredible eyes for catch this sort of shots and details. It's between dream and reality, present and past... and this subtle reflect of you in the windows had another dimension. It's a very touching composition. I love the reflection of the landscape, and this tree invading the old house. It's a wonder Troy ! Have a wonderful week-end my friend. Hugssssssss. V

maggiemai
Wow! Fantastic image!! Love the texture of the boards, the crop, and that reflection of the field in the glass. Your ghostly image peering out into the world makes the title that much more perfect...does it mean you are looking out at the unknown; or we are looking in!?! The answer is "Unknown" as well! Love it and it's going to my favs!! :-) V
