Christopher, too!
Christopher’s back! Here are some preview shots from his second official beards.org photo shoot earlier today! Stay tuned for more…
Brian, too!
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!
fourteen million!
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!
Andy! Now that’s a BEARD!
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!
Scott!
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:
thirteen million!
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!
you have to WANT the beard
All too often I hear of guys who start growing a beard, get well on their way, and then suddenly get cold feet and shave it off in a moment of insecurity. Many report that they’ve gone through this routine multiple times. Why?
To avoid this unfortunate fate for the budding new beard, simply commit to sticking with the beard-growing process. Set a target date that gives your new beard growth a decent chance to grow in and for you to become accustomed to it. And make a commitment not to shave it under any circumstance (barring some extreme unexpected situation) before that date.
You have to WANT the beard. You have to want it enough to commit to growing it properly. Otherwise, you may be vulnerable to a temporary loss of confidence, then chicken out and shave it off. Don’t let it happen again!
