Beards of Wild Men of the West Photo Gallery by Monte Dodge at pbase.com

Beards of Wild Men of the West

Not everyone can grow a great Beard. Something about beards bring us to the days of " The Gold Rush", Logging Camps, Mountain Men, Etc. These are a few examples of outdoor men sporting their rebellion to change to today's pasturized world of milk toast politics and red power tie logic.......

Great fun seeing this once again Monte. One of the best collections on PBase. P.S. I'd add Jim Stiles. Nice guy, great photographer and yes, he's got a beard worthy of this gallery.

I am a physician, and I am writing an article for a medical journal about issues of bearded patients in the hospital setting. I would like to use some of the photos on your web site as an example of various beards. There is no financial issue, and I don't receive money for the publication of this medical article.

What a collection. Congrats and vote!

Jeanne Newman		21-Apr-2007 22:01
We may have one up on the men by being able to birth babies, but having a fabulous full beard is truly a very all-male experience! These are simply wonderful! (Is it possible to have "beard envy?"!)

Photohiker		12-Apr-2007 19:24
Dude - what an excellent way to spice up the ole portrait idea! Viewed with a big smile!

Debbie Blackburn Beierle		09-Apr-2007 02:35
Very creative gallery! Must admit it's rather scary! HA! Still was fun!

Sue Roberts		13-Mar-2007 23:46
quite a bunch of hairy guys!

freddie perez		06-Mar-2007 20:26
This is truly one of the best galleries I have seen. Each beard + wearer tells a different story. These are the men that make a nation. Well done. You have my vote.

Greybeard Images		22-Feb-2007 18:33
One of my all time favorite galleries. Who knows, maybe I will make it here someday...

Guest		18-Feb-2007 23:24
It has been said that a kiss without a mustash & beard is like an egg without salt. An old panhandler in North Beach told me that (in exchange for a handout of $$) back in the 60s. I wonder how much these guys get kissed???

Guest		04-Dec-2006 16:38
lol gallery, love all the beard, well done, big vote.

Ali Majdfar		25-Nov-2006 19:15
Very interesting gallery, really fantastic.

Guest		23-Nov-2006 21:55
I LOVE THIS GALLERY! Great shots, and makes me want to go out and shoot beards! Great!

John Laberrigue was our grammar school classmate (St. Cecilia's Parish, San Francisco, CA) for 8 years. If a picture is worth a thousand words, your photograph has truly captured the essence of this rugged and elegant-looking man. We are all very proud to know him.

Galina Stepanova		25-Oct-2006 19:20
What a great collection of bearded men! I always wanted to do something like this. Would you pose for me, Monte? :)

Lee G		06-Oct-2006 05:35
Great gallery ,Fun stuff!!

Bill Moss		06-Oct-2006 05:05
Once again I happened by one of your galleries and once again I enjoyed my stay. You have a real talent for documentary and human interest photography.

Dan Chusid		30-Sep-2006 00:01
Nice to see the southern side of a man's head can be so productive. : )

hunky		24-Sep-2006 19:14
Agree to all the above - I may have to steal your idea and get some bearded guys of Alaska. You've found some great images.

Guest		23-Jul-2006 12:54
Love the album. Everytime I've come across a guy with a great beard or mustache, I've wished I had my camera to document that rebellious style.

Richard Calmes		20-Jul-2006 17:47
