Photo Description 

What better way to represent Fall than with this wagon full of pumpkins. The little Amish boy sitting on top of them just adds simplicity to this Fall photo. I was driving by this Amish Farmer's Market when I saw the wagon full of pumpkins pull up. I thought to myself, Fall is on the way. When I noticed the little Amish boy climbing up on top of the pumpkins I could not resist the urge to turn around and try to take his photograph without getting his face. This is one of my most valued photographs.

Advice 

  • Amish are not fond of having their pictures taken, however if you do not get their faces they don't seem to mind. I like to ask permission from them first. In this case however I just snapped before the opportunity escaped me.
