Dear Gabriela, I thank you so much. I hope you find the following post enlightening apropos Amish society - from me to my good friend Margaret Sturgess:
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.

Many thanks Ali and Daniel. I am on the road and the laptop I am using is not good enough to permit me to comment in any serious way on any image. I thank you very much for your encouraging comments. I also love that Usefilm draws people of all nations together, in at least in a few ways that "politicians" can never harm :) My very best wishes.
