Young Men with Big Beards emerged from observing the growing trend for facial hair amongst men between the ages 20 to 35 around Dublin. The portrait project started to capture this zeitgeist and to study the beard wearers through large format photography.

About the Curator
In 2008, Portlander and beard ambassador Michael Buchino began Beard Revue as a comical revue of beards, grading them on a 0-10.0 scale. Beard Revue has since grown into an internet hub for beard and moustache related art, apparel and assorted ephemera.

Folks are really digging the octo-beard look lately.
Scot Taylor has set out on a year-long hirsute adventure.
365 days of beard. One self portrait a day for 365 days. The beard is going to be a measure of my progress, a tracker of my growth, an indicator of my commitment for a year. It will also be a tiny rugged connection and reminder of the untamed Fundy Coast, a place that was once home, a place that I now miss. Follow the beard and follow my year of reconnecting with nature through photographs, words, and design.
Over the course of the year I plan to fundraise and drive awareness for the Nature Conservancy of Canada. Keep up to date through the fan page on upcoming events and merchandise.
Let this be an affirmation of faith that beards and nature and Canada and plaid belong together.

“The object of the Handlebar Club was, and still is, to bring together moustache wearers (beards being strictly prohibited) socially for sport and general conviviality.”
