St. Louis
When I was teaching school in Yoder, Kansas, I decided to go home over Christmas and visit my family in Wisconsin. I took the Greyhound bus, and decided to have a stranger snap this pic of me in St. Louis at the bus stop with the arch in the background. 2001 —Mose Gingerich

Sixteen
When I was 16, I left the Amish for the first time for about 6 months. This is a pic that was taken. It is the earliest picture of me, and I regret to say, the only pic of me during that time out. 1996 —Mose Gingerich

Strumming
This is me trying my hand at a guitar when I lived in Yoder, Kansas. One of my buddies came by and we were strumming. 2001 —Mose Gingerich

Motorized Buggy
I worked for an English guy in his sawmill when I was Amish. One winter day my horse got loose and ran home. I had him hook his four-wheeler on my buggy and drive me home. Even then, I had a weird sense of humor. 1998 —Mose Gingerich

Buggy Ride
This is one Sunday afternoon when my Amish family was in church. Me and my (then girlfriend) (now wife) went to Wisconsin on vacation. I decided it's time for her to have a ride in my old Amish buggy. 2004 —Mose Gingerich
