Bill's body of work, spanning more than sixty years, has been exhibited at the National Press Gallery in Washington D.C., The Pennsylvania State House, Wolfson College at Oxford University, UK, the B.A.S.F Gallery in Frankfurt Germany, and others. Coleman's work has been celebrated and recognized as the foremost photographic documentation of an Old Order Amish community. In addition, Bill's work of the Amish has been published in three books over the past twenty-five years; Amish Odyssey in 1987, The Gift to be Simple in 2001, and The Gift of Friendship in 2008 and reprinted in 2014.
Bill enjoyed a myriad of subjects and settings spanning time and space but it was the Amish way of life that never ceased to pique his interest. He's left, as his legacy, a stunning decades-long photographic story capturing generation after generation of one particular Amish community thriving only with the tools and philosophy that has guided them since the eighteenth-century. Bill's love of the Amish and of their relationships with each other and of the land nourished his hope that humanity could still thrive unencumbered with the distractions of modern-day life. See less
