Description
I live not far from New Wilmington, PA, about 20 miles, and since they have the best cheese and baked goods, I travel through a lot. The town itself is beautiful and most of the sites and scenes along the way are of Amish families and farms.
New Wilmington is a borough in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, United States, first platted in 1824 and established as a borough on April 9, 1863. The population was 2,466 at the 2010 census. It is home to Westminster College and serves the Old Order Amish community in the surrounding Wilmington Township. New Wilmington is a town in Pennsylvania with a population of 2,297. New Wilmington is in Lawrence County and is one of the best places to live in Pennsylvania. Living in New Wilmington offers residents a dense suburban feel and most residents own their homes. Many young professionals live in New Wilmington and residents tend to be conservative. The public schools in New Wilmington are above average.
the Old Order Amish community of approximately 1,500 people lives in farms that surround the quaint villages of New Wilmington and Volant in the northern section of the county. Fourteen different districts comprise the community. The average church district is comprised of 75 adult members in addition to all of the unbaptized children and young adults. Church officials including a bishop govern each district. Decisions of the officials determine the way of life of the community.
Descendants of Jakob Amman, the Amish have retained much of the same style clothing worn in the Palatine region of Switzerland during the sixteenth century. The plain, but functional garb sets them apart from the worldliness that threatens their existence. The similarity of dress also discourages pride and encourages modesty.
Amish girls and women wear dresses primarily in colors of royal blue, navy blue, black or brown. Reds, pinks, oranges and yellows are prohibited, as are patterned fabrics. One thing is absolute. There are never buttons on the clothing of the Old Order Amish women.
Men and boys wear denim trousers with two large overlapping panels in the front, which button to the waist. The bishop determines the number and size of buttons. Coats and vests are fastened by hook and eyes, never buttons. Suspenders are used to hold up the trousers. Belts are never worn.
The Amish practice homechurching–gathering for Sunday services at various homes. It is a major undertaking to host the preaching service. With the help of family and friends, the house is cleaned and scrubbed from top to bottom. The host family also provides the noon meal for the congregation.

To me, photography is an art of observation. It is about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. I have found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
