Cole became a photographer in the '30s when he was given a camera by his older brother Brett. He served in the Navy as a photographer in WW-II. After the war, he returned to his father's home in Carmel as his assistant. Edward had begun showing the symptoms of the Parkinson's disease that eventually killed him.

In 1948, Kodak began shipping samples of it's new color film to Edward, but his health was so bad, he was unable to try it. Cole experimented with it and became one of the world's masters in color photography.

For many years he continued to print his father's famous negatives. In recent years, they have been for sale on his web site.

Cole was married four times and is survived by four sons, two daughters and nine grandchildren.
