From “Discover Lancaster”:
“Just as the Amish do not carry personal photographs or display them in homes, they do not want others to take photographs of them. Many visitors to Lancaster County, find it difficult not to do so. Yet, if there is one thing that appears to frustrate the Amish, it is tourists attempting to take their picture. Please follow our lead in taking no photographs in which faces are recognizable. Refraining from taking photos is more than just a courtesy; it's a respect for our Amish neighbors and their way of life.”

Agree. Photography can be intrusive. So, we should respect the wishes of others who object to having their picture takken.

Mate
Loc: Pahrump, Nevada
We lived in Amish country in Pennsylvania for 18 months. It is true that they do not like having their photos taken. I also do not like having my picture taken without my permission. On a walk through a park several years ago a man ran up to me and started snapping phots to put on facebook. I did not give him permision to take photos of me and to please stop. I finally had to walk away from him. The people around me thought I was rude. In our world today there so many people that feel that they can take photos of anyone without getting their permission. "Mate"

The scooter-style bicycles shown in the second image were the only kind I saw Amish using a few years ago in the Lancaster area. So I was surprised recently to see Amish here in Maine using the more familiar peddle-style bikes that even had multiple gears.

The large Amish population in Sarasota Florida use three-wheel pedal bikes. They also do not wear a helmet.

One does not to have to visit Lancaster County, PA. to see Amish. I live in Moira, New York I see Amish everyday. In fact as I am writing this reply, I look out a window and see a two Amish guys on a wagon going by. Amish are not just in my home town. Amish have move into other township around Moira, New York. Moira, New York is in Franklin County .Also next county over (St. Lawrence County) has large group of Amish living in it.

Before "going after" someone, perhaps you should take just a moment to make sure you are addressing the correct person...just a thought.

I agree..... Especially do not publish the Amish especially if their face is involved.
