A special note about photographing the Amish people.

Years ago Michael had an Amish bishop explain the photography question with him. The bishop explained how the Amish people do not want photos of them to be taken but they can't control every situation. This bishop is a very high ranking leader of the local Amish people in the Ethridge community. He asked that if we should take photos of them, make sure the Amish people are working and that we leave our Amish little ones out of the photos. So far we have put very little of their little ones on our site. The few that we did put on are only for reference of how Amish children look. We chose to follow the direction of what the bishop said and have taken photos of the Amish people working in the field. We could be mean and show the Amish men watching TV at walmart or drinking beer since we have seen this contrary behavior in the past but we want to portray the Amish in their natural environment according to their ordnung. Here is a question to our readers who disagree: Would you buy a house or car without looking at it? Would you take your kids to a park where you don't know it is safe? Probably not, same with a website showing off an Amish community. We show the Amish and the surrounding tourism support businesses in their actual condition and do not alter or misinform the visitor by hiding factual information. There are Amish who would object to having their photo take but are we actually breaking the law? NO, so far there is no law saying we can't take a photo from a public place like a roadway. We have several photos of Amish people who have posed for the photo. We see some waiving from the fields and on their buggies. Some Amish have wanted to see the photo we took and asked that we not show it to the bishop. It is to this end that we show the Amish people working in the fields and homes. If the bishop who told Michael to get them working was ever to see this Amish of Ethridge website, then he should be able to see that Michael had lived up to his part of the agreement and has showed the Amish people working and has very few photos of the little ones.
