In June 2009 I developed Sciatica and had difficulty standing for two weeks, this resulted in not being able to shave for a while. Once It got to the point I could move around again I decided to let the beard grow out of curiosity. I took these pictures just before I had a shave as a momento, I think this is the result of between 3 and 4 weeks growth.

I was going for the Carl McCoy/Cowboy look. The sunglasses were added to give it more of an anonymous/moody look.

For anyone interested, the lighting is simply from a window with the background being darkened with the use if Photoshop. I took about 120 pictures on the day and edited them down to these 12.
