who is John Updikes mother.
We did a piece on the Amish: she did the story and I made the photographs for Travel and Camera. I also did photos for Liberty magazine. I always photographed the Amish with respect. I never shoved my camera in their faces. They don’t particularly like people photographing them. So I either did it with a long lens, which is kind of sneaky in a way, or a hidden camera. I don’t think they minded it so much, as long as the camera wasn’t exposed and they weren’t exposed to the camera. Dublin: So you were less obtrusive? Amish Exhibit. Amish Exhibit. Harvan: Yes, I was. In fact John Hofmier, he was an Amish man who left the group and became the editor of Liberty magazine. When he saw some of my photographs, he said I did them with a certain amount of class. It made me feel good, because I didn’t want to invade anyone’s privacy just to make a photograph.
