My friend Neal grew a beard for a while. It rather suited him. These shots proved rather popular on Flickr amongst gentlemen who prefer a hirsute gentleman.
The aesthetic is a mix of Flashman, regimental boxer, or archaeologist about to desecrate another culture's holy places. The straw hat is much missed, the book is a gorgeous 1930s translation of Dafydd ap Gwilym, the poster in the background is a Soviet one marking ten years since Gagarin's first flight (purchased from the wonderful Left on the Shelf) and the glasses are the model's own. In what may be disappointing news to some of you, he is married.
