"For four years, Robert Weingarten photographed Amish communities in Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. Gathered in Another America, Weingarten's photographs of the Amish capture the beauty and simplicity of a way of religious life that has been sustained for more than three centuries... As Los Angeles County Museum of photography curator Robert A. Sobieszek writes, "Robert Weingarten's photographs of the Amish communities are riveting testaments to the enduring virtues of this religious group's spiritual and bucolic lifestyle. His black-and-white images of the pastoral landscape are in perfect accord with the Amish's profoundly simple faith. In the broad spectrum of photographic grays that exists between the darkest black and the brightest white, this California photographer has eloquently evoked the rich and subtle harmonies of a people who shy away form everything modern and worldly while cherishing the traditional, the spiritual, and the teaching of the Bible"..."
