In their book The Color of Hay, photographer Kathleen Laraia McLaughlin and her author husband H. Woods McLaughlin take us to a little known part of the world and show it to us with extraordinary grace and care. Many of my photo book recommendations have been old classics, but this one is what you might call a new classic; the McLaughlins show us the Maramures, an isolated region on the northern fringe of Transylvania, bordering the southern frontier of the Ukraine.
