Portraits from the world beard championships

You know I’m not going to miss an article with a title like that!

Seriously, these are pretty great though. They range from the fantastic to the mundane.

The Fantastic

I like how they have themes, like the Sea Captain, the Lumberjack or the Old-Timey-riding-one-of-those-bicycles-with-a-huge-wheel-in-the-front guy(s).

I like the commitment to the look: I’m not just going to grow the beard, I’m going to also captain a ship. The pictures themselves are good too, I like the plain background, washed-out-with-flash, no smile seriousness of these. A serious pose for the serious business of the world beard championships.

Wait a tick, did that article mention a show called Whisker Wars???
