It's no secret that I love books, especially photo books, but I have always been a bit uncomfortable about the cost of a large, beautifully printed, hard-bound book. My new FolioBooks seem like the answer. I have been taking advantage of the latest print-on-demand technology to create a series of small (8 x 8 inch) and extremely affordable photo books. These books are printed by an innovative online printer, MagCloud.com. Clicking on any FolioBook cover image (at the left or below) will take you to a page on the MagCloud web site, where you can preview the entire contents of the book, and then if you wish, order your own copy which will be printed, bound, and sent to you directly from MagCloud.
Easy to buy—
Easy to share—
Easy to enjoy—
Stay tuned, more FolioBooks of my favorite images are coming soon.

Chile's far north
photographs by Linde Waidhofer
40 pages, 8 x8 inches, softbound
$15 plus shipping.
The Atacama desert in Northern Chile is known as the driest place on earth. This high desert landscape is nothing short of surreal. Traveling north from Santiago, in springtime, you discover one surprise after another: carpets of brilliant flowers along the coast, mysterious often ghostly formations of eroded rock, and halfway between altiplano and pure desert the worlds highest geyser field hidden under soaring Andean volcanos.
fantastic forests of South America
photographs by Linde Waidhofer
52 pages, softbound, $20 plus shipping.
The forests of Chile's far south are simply unique. From the oldest species on the continent, the Araucaria, that coexisted with dinosaurs, to the many species of Nothofagus Beech that color the lanscape in autumn, to the giant Alerce, South America's counterpart to North America's Sequoia Gigantia, these little known forests are full of mystery, of color, of pure beauty.
the street art of Valparaiso
photographs by Linde Waidhofer
40 pages, 8 x8 inches, softbound
$15 plus shipping.
Valparaiso—affectionally known as Valpo—is Chile’s second city, second largest, second most important, both commercially and politically, but for lovers of street art, Valpo, is number one—a permanent festival of street art, a museum of street art with steep and winding galleries, with no entrance fees. With its surreal fantasies of painted murals, painted doors, painted cement stairs and walls, and Valpo takes your breath away and steals your heart.
Colordo's high desert mountains
photographed by Linde Waidhofer
50 pages, 8 x 8 inches, softbound
$20 plus shipping
Colorado's San Luis Valley is a breathtaking landscape of contrasts and contradictions: the tallest Sand Dunes in North America, tucked beneath serried ramparts of fourteen-thousand foot peaks., an arid lanscape, a true desert, that nonetheless contains more than 50% of Colrado's wetlands. This 8,000 foot high valley of distant horizons is Linde Waidhofer's adopted home and she has photographed it in every season with patience and passion
Sol y Sombra
Light & Shadow
black & white photographs by Linde Waidhofer
50 pages, 8 x 8 inches, softbound
$20 plus shipping.
In this Folio Book—new for winter 2019/2020— Linde trades brilliant color for high drama. Her first all black-and-white monograph presents the wild landscape at the very 'bottom' of South America in monochrome compositions ranging from stark to subtle, but always surprising, always new. This is Patagonia as you have never seen it before. A powerful, new, and wild vision of one of the planet's wildest places.
