Dale!

After a much-too-long hiatus, the beards.org documentary beard photography project resumed activity yesterday with another original beard photo shoot.  Dale, with his amazing beard growth, kindly agreed to the beard photo shoot.  Here are some preview shots from March 20th, 2009.

good news: growin’ again!

You may remember Dale from “adding more beards to the world“.  Well, for wholly unknown reasons, he reportedly later went from the full beard down to a goatee and mustache.  And from there, went down further to just a mustache and soul patch.  The good news, however, is that Dale just emailed to proclaim that the full beard is on its way back!

Happily growing again:

Good job, Dale!  Keep it growing.  Photos are courtesy of Dale and are used with permission.

For any of the rest of you out there who have shaved your beards, take a cue from Dale and start growing again!

adding more beards to the world

Dale

Could you imagine never allowing the world to see this beard? This is Dale. More than a year ago, a friend recommended to Dale that he visit beards.org. Dale checked out the site and was immediately inspired to start growing his beard. He has been growing his beard and experimenting with different styles ever since. That’s one more beard in the world, thanks to beards.org.

Of course, Dale’s industrial-strength beard is not the only beard whose growth was inspired by the site. Several are documented in the beard success stories section of the site. Those, however, represent only a tiny fraction of the beards added to the world in response to the influence of beards.org. I know of lots more. I am sure that there are even more out there that I haven’t heard about and likely never will. If you are among those who grew a beard because this site convinced you to try it, drop me a line to let me know. And if you’d like to appear on the site, be sure to mention that!

If you know someone who could grow a beard, be sure to tell him to get to beards.org and start growing. He could be the next Dale! Remember that Dale’s example shows that it works! Do your part to add more beards to the world.
