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.

Would imagine that your rent here is quite reasonable. Love what you've done to the place. Might add some drapes and curtains to enhance the look and give a little more privacy. LOofLO!!!! HUGS!!

Sure enough they suffer from a wee bit of the run downs.Never could figure out why this happens.A home is to darn expensive to let it go.Top pro image my friend.You have a wonderful day.Vote

Do you get hurricanes or tornados where you are lol? These were once nice houses and I don't understand how they became to look like this. Nice job on photography. I'm saving these to my favorites.

It is both sad and interesting that such a fine house in its original form could have come to this. Excellent image - but sad. :o)

How sad! I love old houses and hate to see them lost. Some say that a house is alive and that if it sits unoccupied too long it will die...

what a pity that such a beautiful home is that condition. It was not a cheap house to build with the desgns. excellent capture of mood and atmosphere

I'm guessing it's neglect and fear.I know taking on an old house can be very expensive and time-consuming.But it's such a shame.The character they have is irreplacable.Wonderful capture,troy.
