Thank you very much for your comments Margaret. The Amish society has a BIG problem with images of any kind (they do not own cameras of course, and do not hang any kind of picture in their dwellings, except for calendars). I therefore had two choices: to ignore them completely in terms of pics, or to rationalise it according to my own morality. I still feel rather uncomfortable that I chose the latter course. I am told that children do not mind as much as adults, and that the Amish are philosophical about the vulgarities of tourists poking cameras at them. Still, I'd rather inflict benign photography on them than exploit their culture in the obnoxiously UGLY way that characterises the tourist industry in Lancaster County.

Hi Anthony,
My sister (Kathy Hillard) told me to come check out your portfolio, so here I am. You have some really nice images. I really like this series on the Amish..especially knowing how that do not like to be photographed. Keep up the good work. I'll watch your photos to see what you come up with next!
