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.

Superb images. bravissimo

hmm - i first thought this shot was a bit dark and broody... then, on opening the fullsize i see it is an extremely contrasty image - there are the blown reflections on the leaves and then the banks and water are black in places. Overall it makes an interesting shot to look at with all those colours thrown in between black and white. :)

A great shot - I love the pastel tones - it is a great deviation from the more vibrant fall colors you see so often.

You work is always beautiful....... You eye always captures the beauty that is there but not always seen. I also like the black because it emphasizes the colors. Thank you friend for a lovely capture off the bridge. Karen :)

This place must love this time of year! To lie shrouded in the gloom throughout the summer beneath the trees, then to have the sky appear, bit by bit as the leaves drop one by one into the stream. A lovely place to stop a while. Thanks for sharing. BJ

You have a wonderful image here. Very well done and so pleasing it does speak to the eye and to the heart. What more can a photograher ask..unless, of course, doing forensic work. Thanks for this beauty and the other with it.
