Christopher’s back! Here are some preview shots from his second official beards.org photo shoot earlier today! Stay tuned for more…
Brian’s back with a new look for his second official beards.org photo shoot! Here are some preview images from his photo shoot that took place today, October 15, 2010. Watch for an update to Brian’s beard feature soon!
Hey! Once more, we’ve got another million views on the gallery counter! I wasn’t at the computer at the time to witness the turnover to 14,000,000 views, so I don’t know which image was the fourteen millionth. So to illustrate this post, I’ve included another shot of Brian that appeared in his latest album update.
Thanks again to all of the friends and visitors to beards.org for your interest in the bearded cause. Keep growing!
Phill has written in to tell of his outstanding beard’s upcoming disappearance. But before it disappears, he’s taking votes on what to do with the beard. The voting goes to support a charity that Phill has selected. You may vote through September 30th, 2010. See below for all the information.
After it’s all done, though, I think Phill should grow that full beard back again!
Here is Phill’s message:
I hail from London, England and, as happens to many of us, I’ve decided that it’s time for the beard to go, but not before one last hurrah!
In a nutshell, I’m shaving off more than a year’s worth of hair and four month’s of beard for charity, a homeless charity, Centrepoint – partly on the basis that I look like a homeless person, if I’m honest…
But there’s a twist.
I have to go through an intermediate stage that will look ridiculous/spectacular – and I don’t get to choose what that is, Joe Public does.
I’ve had a website/blog up and running for a couple of weeks now http://phillsface.wordpress.com/
And I’ve invited almost everyone I know and everyone they know to submit ideas for how to shape/shave my beard and hair – anything goes (that I’m actually capable of.)
More than 80 ideas from nearly 1,000 people have been shortlisted to five and these are now online for people to vote and donate as of today. The one that gets the most donations is the one I have to sport for a week, at work from October 1st.
So, whatever they vote for, I have to go through with… and every vote is by way of a donation.
It would be great if you wanted to share this with your readers, Facebook, Twitter – anything to get some expert opinion involved.
This is what it’s all about: http://phillsface.wordpress.com/about/
And this is the Final Five:

I hope you enjoy it and would love it if you could share it!
Cheers
Phill
P.S. This isn’t a corporate thing in any way. I’m doing this all of my own back, so there are no endorsements or anything except me having chosen a designated charity.
Andy kindly participated in an official beards.org photo shoot on September 23rd, 2010. Unlike any other beards.org photo shoot to date, Andy’s photo shoot included a trip to the barber shop for a haircut and beard trim. Here are some preview shots from the first part of the photo shoot.
Stay tuned for lots more of Andy!
Stay tuned for a whole lot more of Scott and his amazing beard! Meanwhile, check out a few sample shots from his official beards.org photo shoot:

We’ve done it again! We’ve got another million views on the gallery counter! The thirteen-million milestone was reached sometime on the morning of July 4th, 2010.
We hit our previous milestone of twelve million gallery views back on March 31st, 2010. Remember, however, that the gallery counter started at zero on January 26, 2006. So we have had thirteen million views of photos in the gallery since January 26, 2006.
The number is a fun milestone to track, although the actual number of views is even larger. Sadly, when some images leave the gallery, their view counts get subtracted. That can whack off thousands from the counter at a time. Also, when Salvatore’s beard videos were hosted in the main gallery, the overall view count was boosted substantially. When I pulled the videos from the gallery (because they were using up all of the site’s monthly data transfer allowance), the overall count shrank some more, as well. If all of the subtractions were added back, the true number would be quite a bit higher.
Regardless, each additional million makes for a good occasion to stop and reflect for a moment and express thanks to all of beards.org’s loyal fans, friends, and visitors. It’s also a great time to thank and salute each and every bearded man who has joined the gallery.
I wasn’t at the computer when the counter hit thirteen million. So this post is illustrated with a previously-unpublished photo of Christopher.
Happy Birthday, USA! And best wishes to all friends of beards.org around the world!
