Starting as an intern in the Ripley’s digital archives, Colton’s intimately familiar with the travelogues and photo albums of Robert Ripley himself. Whether it’s writing, editing, or working in front of or behind the camera, a typical day has included chasing buried treasure, tracking cryptids, interviewing clowns, carrying crashed satellites, and calculating the results of hypothetical sports contests among ants.
