Thanks Lis. I saw some other Amish people, but I was trying my best to be respectful of not taking their photos. Most old order Amish do not want their photos taken because of their interpretation of certain Biblical words. The Amish are really great people and I wanted to respect that. I only took this photo because the kids waved at me. Someday I would love to document some of the life of the Amish if I could find a family that were open to me doing that.

I love this picture, too – that would be wonderful if you could ever find an Amish family that would welcome you to photographing their life…
