You have reached the totally redesigned Hoeslyvista, a digital photography site dedicated to providing free, high-quality desktop pictures to the Mac, Windows, and Linux communities. A listing of my photo galleries is given below with descriptions and navigation links. Updates are listed below. Email me if you have any comments or questions. In addition to providing pristine photographic desktop pictures, Hoeslyvista utilizes some of the latest web standard recommendations put forth by the W3C including XHTML and CSS levels 1 and 2. My intent is for Hoeslyvista to be accessible not only by graphical web browsers on desktop computers but by television-based browsers, handheld computers, information appliances, and even text-only terminal browsers for the quick and easy retrieval of desktop pictures from almost any environment. Additionally, special attention has been given to tailoring content for the print medium.
