After all of our big trips Joe lets me shave his beard (that he only grows on long trips) into a goatee. This time he let me do his hair back instead of a part. I get a couple of pictures and then he immediately goes and shaves it all off. I love his facial hair on trips!
Since I shaved the beard this past weekend as part of my Halloween costume (was Neo from The Matrix), I guess I need a new portrait. Like always with self-portraits, taking and processing this was a real pain, but I think it came out pretty well.
And yes, I'm going to keep the beard off for a bit.

Read my review at the ulterior epicure.
Seriously, this guy might be related to Gimli with a beard this mighty.
(Thank you my friend, for letting me capture it's epicness)
This is Adam Martinez. He, with 4 other Texans (including Ross - see previous beard) couch surfed at my house. He plays guitar in the band the Tontons. Both pictures taken on my back porch.
July 10. I admit it: this was phoned in.
I was out with friends, it had been a LONG week, and it was midnight when I realized that I hadn't yet taken a photo. I snagged Derek's iPhone and forced him to pose as my model.
Even though he is not actually smoking a real cigarette, I'll still give you this quote from Kurt Vonnegut to ponder, since this is what I thought of when I saw this image the next day (perhaps because Derek was the one who first introduced me to Kurt Vonnegut):
The public health authorities never mention the main reason many Americans have for smoking heavily, which is that smoking is a fairly sure, fairly honorable form of suicide.

I grew a beard over the Holidays, then I shaved the beard on New Years Eve. Figured I'd have a bit of fun with it before it got lost to memory.
Today I think my beard is on Death Row....
I quite like it, I mean I'll still keep a Goatee to give definition of chin to my otherwise "podgy" face, but layely I have been growing it, hell everyone needs a hobby right..
But I do have a couple of problems with it.
1) I'm not entirely sure how to trim it to keep it tidy
b) I rest my head on my left had, as such its a bit wayward and wanders off to the right hand side of my face.
iii) Its ginger, nothing against ginger but the hair on my head, what there is of it is brown... fraky beardy thing
4) I fear of migrating harvest mice takeing up home in it
e) I forgrt what d is for..
Sooo... shall I chop it off, or keep growing the straggly thing, or at least ubtil someone gives me a job since losing mine to a "medical" condition.. . though I am planning to go to Uni to do Psycology and I think the beard will help me reflect on things as I stroke it..
So what do folk thin?
This loaf is very heavy and dense and is very good for sandwiches. Adapted by me from Beard on Bread:
In a standing mixer with mixing paddle, put 1/2 cup of water at body temperature, 1 package of active dry yeast and 2 teaspoons of sugar. Turn mixer on for a little bit and then let it stand for five minutes while it proofs.
Add 3 3/4 cups of King Arthur Unbleached Flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 3/4 cup more of body temperature water. Turn on the mixer. If it is too dry and the mixer begins to jump, add 1 teaspoon of water. I don't think more than this will be needed. Let the mixer run until you have a very nice ball of dough.
Change to the kneading paddle. Let it knead the dough for 10 minutes. Take the dough out and put it upside down in an oiled bowl. Rub the dough gently in the oil and put right side up in the bowl and let it rise covered with oiled plastic wrap loosely on top until it is doubled in bulk (about one hour).
Punch down the dough and knead by hand for as long as you can take it. Shape into a nice loaf and put into a large loaf pan. I use a very long pan from King Arthur.
Bake at 400°F and check at 35 minutes. My loaves are taking at least 45 minutes to bake. If you bake this too long, the crust will be very hard. It is crispy if it is baked just right.
Removing my winter beard, a piece at a time
Jessie helped me shave my winter beard, one piece at a time
as much as I hate being "beard guy" I can not resist capturing a bust of a guy on a well lit wood paneled background
Sadly, I've no idea who this actually is.
Hooray, page 2 is penciled. I defeated this page using my red "rage eyes."
Hey, I even have my beard down for this one. King Cat 4eva!!!
