more Jared!

Jared was kind enough to come out on the last day of October for a second photo shoot.  With his powerhouse beard enhanced with two more weeks of growth, we got even more photos as well as a little video.  Here are some preview shots from yesterday’s photo shoot with Jared:

Mike’s photo shoot!

On Sunday, I had the unique opportunity and pleasure to do a beards.org photo shoot with Mike, his lovely wife, and their sweet little puppy.  Mike has been a long-time friend of and cheer leader for beards.org.  It was great to finally meet him.  Here are some preview photos from his photo shoot yesterday.  Watch for Mike’s upcoming beard feature right here on beards.org.

Jason smiles.

We don’t want to give the impression that Jason’s nothing more than a rough and tough guy who would rather punch you out than look at you.  The photo above shows that he can smile and that he is really a nice guy.  It’s true!  He really is a nice guy!

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 also 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.

Off to a great start: first photo from the shoot.

Stay tuned for lots more of Andy!

thirteen million!

Christopher

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!
