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.

All three shots today are exceptional...I really like this one a lot. I bet B/W or sepia would look great with this one. Have a great weekend my friend.

Wow.I wonder why NC has so many...What a furry looking building.It gives the impression that the land is trying to reclaim it's space.Excellent capture Troy.And like Ray,I'd also like to see this in b/w or monochrome...It has a lot of texture and atmo and I think it could look really wonderful like that,too.Have a great weekend!-M :^)

Awesome! This is ONE of those times when the power lines really support the image, helping the composition somehow... Great stuff +++

GREAT photo -- but it looks like you sharpened it a bit too much. The telephone pole, for instance, looks really jagged around the edges. It's only a small flaw in an otherwise fantastic capture.
