In the comments to my "people" challenge entry, [url=//www.dpchallenge.com/image.asp?IMAGE_ID=1934 ]here, [/url], I am surprised that nobody commented on the shadow of the fourth person''s head appearing on the body of the third person.
In response to some of your comments:
* I don''t believe the fifth person was holding a digicam; just an old point and shoot.
* The third person appeared to be functioning for these folks as a tourguide.
* I was so concerned that I would attract their attention trying to photograph them that I couldn''t be as attentive to composition as I might have liked. I wish I could''ve waited for the kid in red to get out of the picture, but I couldn''t risk them noticing me and taking cover.
* There were two teenagers, accompanying these four older folks, who were dressed in completely typical "American Teenager" garb, not the clothes of their parents. They were keeping their distance from their folks, so were out of camera range. (BTW, on the last page of last Sunday''s NY Times Magazine, there is a photo essay about an Amish teenage son, who is on the traditional "hiatus" from practicing the traditions and religion of his family, while he figures out if he wants to "participate".)

Your subjects are not Amish, they are most probably German Baptist, and would have been quite friendly if you had approached them. I doubt that they would "take cover". Most German Baptist drive, shop in malls, eat in restaurants, use electric sewing machines and the like, and yes, even cameras. The man with the beard would have a male child; the man without the beard, most likely no sons. |

Thanks for the information Sandip, I mistakenly thought they were Quakers!

Quakers dress pretty much as the general population. Richard Nixon was a Quaker! |

| Still a very compelling picture, no matter who they are! |

| Just think how some of us would look in Amish country. Now, there's another picture! |
