Respecting their right not to be photographed with their faces showing I shot this one of Mary who had been doing the laundry for an Amish neighbor who has a new baby. She is returning home to finish the family laundry. In this family of 16 children 5 have left the Amish life style. Three boys and 2 girls left within a few months of each other. Mary remains at 14 years old and 2 other younger girls, I think 5 boys of various ages remain home also. Mary assumes much responsibility for the household chores. She is a friendly sweet girl.
