Earlier this year we went to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania where one of the largest Amish settlements is found. Unfortunately it was too cold for a buggy ride but we did it now. I was afraid I would not be able to take pictures of Amish people as they do not like being photographed because it cultivates individualism, but our buggy driver Ben didn’t have an issue with that. In addition to the ride itself, I really appreciated talking to him – it is more personal than a New York Times or wikipedia article.
