Overview
With a steadily growing population of over 400,000 in North America,
according the estimates in a
2024 study, the Amish live a "Plain" lifestyle, valuing simplicity,
community, and separation from the world. While attempting to maintain
this distinction from the outside world, they still interact with those
they refer to as "the English" as part of everyday life. Photographer
Brian R. Tolbert documents these public interactions in Amish Among Us.
More than 150 engaging images depict the culture of the approximately 44,000 Amish residents of Lancaster County, the oldest and largest Amish community in North America. The curated images illustrate the Amish community's experiences with agriculture, commerce, and livestock, as well as their interactions with non-Amish people and the trappings of modern society. The charming collection tells a story of the simple life in juxtaposition with today's hectic world.
