I have been impressed with the service from Uro so far. I`ve only just contacted Bohle, and they haven`t seen the photos yet. Lisa at Bohle is really hel...

Here are some photos that I took earlier. I like the Uro machine rolled too. It`s so easy to cut, and nice and flat. I`ve never had a problem before...

So my current series/style/mood/technique tries to bring out all those properties in an effort to humbl...
