Kingdom Vision International Ch...raise for the greatness of god.

Kingdom Vision International Church held a tent revival on Friday, Oct. 18, 2019 along Frontage Road in Columbus. Condensation clung to the tent’s tarp ceiling as their arms embraced one another. Shouting in praise for God and the Golden Triangle to hear, Preacher R.J. Matthews took the stage. Families traveled from Starkville and West Point to hear Matthews speak. Many were slain in the spirit as they melted into the ground beneath them — shouting their praise for the greatness of god.

You'll never know her, Mississippi

Updated Dec 2020

Location Columbus, Mississippi

Topics Documentary, Essays, Photography, Photojournalism, Portraiture

There’s something about Mississippi that clings to you; something in the mix of heat, humidity and history. It’s unreckoned in a most beautifully complex way. The days seem longer and sunsets richer. Often misunderstood, no set of images can singlehandedly tell her story. You’ll never know her, Mississippi.
