COLE slaw, hah, okay. I don't know, but everyone else had a cool nickname for you and i didn't. So! Cole slaw has been born :) Unless someone took it already, then that sucks. Today happens to be Cole's lovely birthday! So, i decided that i've taken enough time with procrastinating and a testimonial must be done! Gosh, where to start? Cole, is honestly such a great photographer. No. He's not a photographer. Wanna know what he truly is? An artist. Every piece of work he uploads is art. Not just a photo, but the kind of art I hope to see in a gallery someday! So here's to hopefully thousands of Cole's wonderful photos. :)
