Amish Art and Television

Folks who know me personally--which now includes you if you read this site, 'cuz honestly, I say much more here than in the so-called real world--know that I'm originally from Pennsylvania's Amish country. The area has a rich visual culture, which may be one reason why some rather famous illustrators (e.g., Haring, Steranko, Kidd) emerged from the region or its more-or-less urban environs.

Adaptation to new media without losing one's integrity is another longstanding cultural preoccupation, which no doubt shaped my own teaching and research. To answer a question I've been asked lots of times, devout Amish have figured out how to have electricity, ride in cars and even access the internet while remaining for the most part off-the-grid.

I wanted to thank for the fantastic read; this is the sort of stuff that keeps me entertained through my day. I’ve been looking around for your blog after being suggest by a colleague and was happy when I was able to find it after looking for a while. As a blogger myself, Its great to see others taking initiative and giving back to the community. Just wanted to show my gratitude for your work as it is very motivating, and many bloggers do not get the credit they deserve. I'll come back later to read more and will tell my friends.

Such a great article giving some great information genuinely explaining some of the key things which you need to be aware of in particular about the part relating to getting some couseling prior to getting auto insurance, so many people don't even consider it.
