Colton's album, Place to Settle, has a constant theme of motion and travel--the search for one's place in life and love. I listened to the album on repeat while hiking through some of my favorite photography locations until a spot felt right. The shoot, in a South Brunswick, NJ pine forest, captured the movement Kayser sought by contrasting the relative rigidity of the forest with the flowing bluestem grasses on the trail. He also insisted that the hat hanging from the belt loop thing was going to catch on, and while I haven’t seen that prophecy come to fruition yet, it wouldn’t be the strangest thing considering these last five years.
