But in other Pennsylvania Amish settlements buggies can be black, white or even yellow. The religious paths these Amish communities travel can be strikingly diverse. What emerges is a mosaic of Amish life and practice quite different from the common Amish stereotype.

Finacial pressures have forced the majority of the Amish to forsake farming for more lucrative business enterprises. Business owners tend to adopt technology more rapidly than farmers, leading to a mini- industrial revolution. Amish-style Buggies, once built of wood, now are often built of fiberglass. With more adults working in industries, family dynamics are beginning to change.

Buller's camera captures the changes sweeping across the Amish landscape. His interviews with authors/professors/researches Donald B Kraybill and Steven M Nolt provide uncommon insight into the Amish mindset.
