“I saw all kinds of people get into photography because they loved it. But then when they became professional, their own personal work went out the window. And I didn’t want that to happen to me.” ~ George Tice George came from a humble background and had to earn a living to support a family and himself, so in his beginning days he had to literally go door to door taking baby and family photos.But he never lost sight of being a creative art photographer.He spent nine years on his own time and dime to create an amazing project on the Amish and Mennonite communities whose way of life he knew would be hard to maintain in an ever changing industrial world.It resulted in his great book “Fields of Peace” where this joyous image is illustrated, a tribute to his determination and talent.
