Just an important personal note: I've requested permission to photography Amish before and was told it is against their religion! When speaking with them, they were more then happy for me to photography their buggies, carts, horses, etc. but not them personally!
Before I photography anyone where you can identify them, I always ask for permission!!!! I believe it is a major breach of manners not to ask!
I've only been turned down a couple of times and those were explained as religious reasons or they just did not want their picture taken. I can respect that.
Please don't get me wrong here!! If I catch a few people in the background of a shot, I don't go out to ask each person if its OK, I try to clone them out or blur them a little. I just don't want someone to think I am a Popprozzia (sp)! (Now that would be a streach
