Photographs Eye Texture-Shape-Rhythm Of Amish Country
October 30th, 2014 - Lancaster, PA
Most people think of Amish Country photographs as a horse and buggy trotting along on a back road or a horse-drawn team plowing a field. Lovely, but photographer Tana Reiff of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, has a different twist. She zeroes in on the rich textures, shapes, and rhythms of buildings, landscapes, and scenes, producing a unique new look at this remarkable area. She shoots not only along country roads but inside and around real Amish farms. Prints are now available from fineartamerica.com. As old-fashioned as the subject matter may be, the photographs provide fresh, even contemporary, art for homes, offices, and commercial spaces.
