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.

Wow, Troy! That is one of the better fire images I have seen for a while. Definitely has a strong composition that brings the eye all through the image... Excellent work and very creative not to just send you mom the flowers (like I did ;)) +++

Ah, wonderful dedication to your mother, who taught you that important distance! I still remember mum teaching me the danger of the heater, but turning it on early in the morning, keeping my hand on it until it got hot and telling me it's way hotter than this when operating on the rest of the day, and without any burns I knew never to touch it! Gorgeous work, Troy!

I made a lot of controlled fires as a kid... (learnt that from my dad). One day me and some friends lost a bit of control when some car tyres set on fire on a garbage heap in the woods; we nearly emptied the whole nearby creek before we managed to put the fire out... after an hour or so. ;-) Kids huh! I don't do it anymore, it's illegal to make a fire now, even in our own yard! I still like your image, though! ;o)

Wow...this is gorgeous! So brilliant and alive...the flames seem to be dancing! I love how that one pine cone is in flames yet still all in one piece. Amazing capture and a very sweet dedi to your Mom in picture and in words. :-) Sorry that I am so far behind in your gallery but I hope to catch up in the next few days. ;-) V
