Description

Few photographers can boast of acceptance by and get admission to to a remote Amish community, but Bill Coleman has had the good fortune to spend the past 25 years capturing its day by day events in beautiful full-color images. From breadmaking to haymaking to community barn raisings, he is taking readers on a visual journey through a Pennsylvanian valley in large part untouched by tourists and the trappings of up to date existence. Whether it is a buggy traversing a winter farmscape, a woman quilting, or a group of children at play, Coleman captures with a perceptive eye the only unique and telling gesture that reveals the character of a person and a community. The images gathered here–authentic of their subject matter and utterly simple of their presentation–celebrate the beauty and grace of a time-honored way of living.
