Here's some John Cooper appreciation. It's a rare and beautiful thing when the respect you have for someone as a teenager grows up with you, and that is certainly the case with John.

We As Human, Chattanooga, TN, November 2, 2014.

I've photographed them at quite a few events over the years. Their energy levels seem to get higher every time.

Anberlin's farewell tour stop in Nashville.  I can't believe it was my last time seeing this band. Spent a brief, beautiful while interviewing Stephen before the show.

A favorite moment from the Dove Awards: new artist of year winner Ellie Holcomb's deep, vulnerable gratitude and her dad's (legendary producer Brown Bannister) steady, smiling pride.
