Hello,

My name is Walter Feller, and I'd like to welcome you to the Digital Desert/Mojave Desert network. I started the project in late 1995 as an experiment in Geographic Information Systems, basically, an example in tying photographs and information to interactive maps. I started exploring the Mojave and... Well, long story short, by 1997 I had gone in and never came out. The GIS went out the window for the most part as the internet took on a life of its own and digital photography developed. What you see on these pages is the product of my wandering.

The site is spread across three primary domains- due to my 'organizational skills'; Digital-Desert.COM, MojaveDesert.NET & the original site, AEVE.COM (Abraxas Engineering, Virtual Environments). I've tried to keep the look and feel and menu system uniform across all the sites, but if you watch the address box, the URLs change back and forth. I'm not trying to be tricky, I'm just sloppy.

Throughout the site you will find many Italized Links. Clicking on a link will generally open a new window. This isn't being done to 'fool' you or get 'sneaky', but rather as a way to let you, explore the facets of the desert according to varied interests and allow comparisons. My preferences are that, I'd rather close a window or two after browsing a few related subjects, than figure out how to use the 'back' commands to move up and down in a typical hierarchical structure. Browser windows are cheap, and the 'X' is pretty big.
