I wasn’t born with a beard, you know
Ever since I signed up with SmugMug (highly recommended!), I’ve been working to reorganize my/Katie’s photos. I’ve gone through about five thousand photos in two months, going backwards from this year, and it’s been wonderful not only to feel better organized but also to remember good times.
Like the time I shaved off my beard (briefly) so Katie could see my face before we got married.

And yes, I did have long sideburns. The only thing I miss about not having a beard was having fun sideburns. They were bold, but they were me.
B shaved off his beard for our wedding! He thought that if there was ever a time to be clean shaven it was then. Of course what that really means is that he looks so different in our wedding pictures. I’ve even had someone stop by my desk, look at the wedding pic and the casual pic from a different time, and ask who the different guy is!
Yeah, I wasn’t going to do that. I feel like I have a beard, so it doesn’t make sense to shave it off for posterity.
So what are the advantages of Smugmug over Flickr? And have you discovered Daily Mug Shot yet?
it’s really the face you’re making that gets me in that first photo.
i keep coming back to see it.
