Our beards are but playful children.

I've really and truly enjoyed the challenge of creative photography and I love the camaraderie and friendship that happens through the site. Thank you, Mackle, for this wonderful gift called Whiskerino. I'd also like to give a shout out to Megan, Jeremy, and Jessica for being awesome supporters/participants/collaborators during the entire 4 months. Thank you so much!

Keep in touch everyone!
