Vincent!

Beards.org is extremely proud to present Vincent! He was kind enough to participate in a beards.org photo shoot yesterday. Vincent’s mighty, mighty beard commands attention, respect, and abundant praise. This was demonstrated repeatedly during the afternoon as countless passersby complimented Vincent on his beard. Everyone was captivated and responded so positively to Vincent’s beard. Take note, those of you who are shy about growing your beard. Be bold like Vincent and grow for it!

Here are some sample shots from Saturday’s photo shoot, starting with the very first shot of the afternoon.

Conner!

Conner was kind enough to participate in an official beards.org photo shoot yesterday. Don’t let the blonde color fool you. This is one powerful beard! Conner will be joining the beards.org featured beards section in the near future. Stay tuned. Meanwhile, here are some preview photos from yesterday’s photo shoot.

seventeen years of all about beards

17 years of all about beards

It’s the seventeenth anniversary of all about beards today on the seventeenth of January, 2013. To mark this occasion, I’ve created a special video with a look back at some of the history and features of the site. To see the video on YouTube, which is on the all about beards YouTube Channel, just click on the image above.  Or click on the embedded video below to watch it on this page.

Please be sure to subscribe to the all about beards YouTube channel. Thanks!

twenty-two million already?

beards.org twenty-two million

I knew the view counter on the gallery was nearing twenty-two million and should hit it in the coming days. Actually, I had hoped to reach it before the end of 2012. The beards.org gallery view counter hit twenty-two million already this morning some time while I wasn’t expecting it. Therefore, I did not see which was the lucky twenty-tow millionth photo viewed. So I’ve just selected an image from Andy‘s album to commemorate today’s milestone.

This counter started at zero back on January 26, 2006. That’s when the gallery moved to the current software package. The true count is not known because of database glitches and other various subtractions over the years. There are also some legacy photo galleries within the site that remain outside the main, whose views are not counted in this total. We can say, however, that the true count is greater than the number displayed. And where can you see this counter? It appears here:
