Mom, Baby & Father by digitalrn

Mom, Baby & Father

I caught this young Amish couple out for an evening stroll, apparently Dad wanted to check out the construction. I was surprised to see this Father in flip flops. It's something you don't see too often, after all, that's a bit too worldly.
Great shot!!! Yes, I would not expect him in flip flops.

What a GREAT catch! Flip flops! haha And the composition of this is great. I saw Amish in the movie Kingpin, and they dressed just like this...BRIGHTLy colored shirts, but black pants and jumpers. I thought the bright colors were fake, for the movie. But turns out, they do wear these!

I think this is fabulous - the light is changeable but you can still see their forms so clearly especially the child!

I thought he should have a black hat. We went to Pennsylvania a couple of years ago. Maybe they are Mennonite rather than Amish. Anyway its a great shot and a fav fro me

The orange cones are worldly too. This is a fantastic capture in cultural contradiction. Not to get academic on you...I'm a sociologist living in PA after all :)

@tesssa Nope, this family is definitely Amish. Their farm is right up the road, and they have the horse and buggies, no electric, etc.

Great capture - love the flip flops!

wow! I thought the Amish were plain people, and red would NOT be an acceptable color. Maybe they're a wee bit more modern than other Amish folk.

Maybe they're Mennonite, not Amish. The Mennonites are a wee bit more modern in appearance than the Amish.
