Ozzy Nelson says:: you made this hilarious adventure more hilarious and more of an adventure. wow. When you look in the whiskerino dictionary for the word Awesome, the definition will be Ned Kelly. And everyone will know what it means.

Fledgling Brewer says:: One word: Amazing. I'm totally following you on flickr now because you definitely inspire me. Love your creativity and aesthetic. And you brew beer!?! Again, amazing.

Grower&Shower says:: Yes, you and @jeremyokai are the reasons why I am here. Jeremy turned me onto it and you inspired me to give it my best at any cost.

You are brilliant and I will miss your amazing shots. Thank you and best wishes Ned.

Phil says:: Ned, you have been the consistent edge of odd/crazy/amazing that makes Whiskerino like no other thing in the world.

Thank You.

c dub says:: You are definitely my favorite whiskerino participant whom i've never had the pleasure to meet. awkward sentence, yes. it works. sorry to hear about your camera troubles. you have inspired me to great length. you have a comfort with yourself and your creativity that comes through brilliantly. early on it was people like you who made me rethink my shots and probably not post as often as i should have. sounds terrible doesn't it. i've grown a lot through this thing and have worked to get past the high level of pressure i put on myself. at that point my brain worked better and pressure felt more like challenge. sounds like lofty stuff to put in a comment on a beard contest site, but we all know it's more than that. thanks for tons of great inspiration. see out there in the web space and someday maybe in that lovely country you've got down there.

Pip says:: You're easily at the top of the Genuinely, Originally Creative. I've always loved that you've taken simple pictures that you love and let the art speak for itself. It's spoken volumes.

Love you.

Be well.

We'll see you.

zackle says:: Meeting you is a part of my list of things to do before I die. I guess I might as well swing over and shake @matwiseman's hand while I'm at it.

Your photos have been consistently amazing throughout. I look forward to them each day, so it saddens me that it is over. In fact, my life just got less interesting.

Take care, friend. You will be missed.
Posted: Feb 28th, 2010 - 8:47pm - ∞

Mat Wiseman says:: Oh yes, you made it.

I hope we can meet some day. Maybe the next time I pop over to the Gold Coast? Christchurch isn't bad for a wee family holiday either - especially in winter.

Either way, it's been a pleasure to do this crazy thing again.

Oh, and re: the cricket. Suck it.

mattyc says:: Thank you for being an amazing photographer and sharing very man self portraits of yourself.... You are the KING of textures and you have one hell of an eye for framing. I'm hoping there is a hack for my S90 sometimes soon... also you are awesome. and i'm in the @nedkelly fan club so you can expect me to randomly show up at your door at some point during your life. Enjoy

wondermade says:: I'm holding onto that someday, though I expect with the passing of time the normalcy of that meeting would also pass.
I hope you and your family are blessed this year, and that you don't encounter any upheavals as drastic as the abrupt move was last year. Be well.

If there's anywhere I can follow your online exploits please let me know!
Sincerely,

Absolutely says:: Ned Kelly is one of those bearders that you want to sit down with, have a beer or two, and listen. You are intriguing as hell and shoot some damn good photos. Hope all is well. Take care. Hope to see you around someday.

sariebell says:: You have always been my favorite. Always. Maybe it's the mystique of never meeting. Or the fact that you say you "broke your camera" and your photos still come out magical. You Aussie Rumplestilskin!! I want there to be a way to keep in touch aside from staring at your visage as interpreted by Jeremy now residing on my wall. Show me the way.

Thanks for blowing my mind and making me happy. I'll never forget you. I may even swim to Australia and hang out with your super cute and obviously very patient family. Take care of yourself.

Dschonn says:: There are things you get up to that I could never think up on my own, and plenty as well that even after you've done them, I still could never replicate. All for an online community masquerading as a beard contest. I'd like a peek inside your mind, so if I am ever within even a few thousand miles of you, I'll do my best to come shake you warmly by the hand. You're a true original.

cary norton says:: is it sad that the first thing i thought was "clip him out of that white background, do something with it"?

thanks for bringing the heat. You're one of the few with it, with it being not-winter there. but HORRIBLE jokes aside, it was always great to see your images. ifwhen i get to your corner of the world you'll hear about it.

thank you sir.

ps how the hell did you hear about whiskerino?
Posted: Mar 1st, 2010 - 6:39am - ∞

JamesC says:: Wow this photo kind of sucks. Are you feeling okay or did you actually take this one, instead of the pro photographer/artist who's been taking the others?

You've inspired me to take "better" photos through the camera hack. It opened up a new world of photography for me, knowing that all these dudes with their $400 DSLRs aren't really all that good, it's just RAW mode!!!!

One day we will have a beer together, I promise.

Take care brother.

Flotsam & Beardsam says:: This picture is great in its simplicity - a fitting last shot for an epic series. You've got an amazing eye for composition, and you know when to keep it simple. Your face also suggests you have things to say. Wish I could have met you. You seem like the kind of guy I wouldn't mind having a beer with. Look me up if you are ever in NC.

tedford says:: what can i say? i've looked forward to your shots every day these past months. to say they've inspired me is an understatement. i'll be keeping an eye on your flickr page so please keep shooting with whatever's handy. it's all magic in your hands. i hope that one day we can meet in person and share a homebrew and a laugh. i'm really counting on scientists here to make teleportation a reality in our lifetime, then you'll just be a button push away. take care of yourself my friend. it's been an absolute pleasure.

mOtke says:: You've heard it before. Favorite. Awesome. Inspirational. Magic. Creepy. Amazing. Manipulator if everything that was ever good or could be good if people would just give it a chance.

You're one of the few guys that have made me speechless at times. Crazy shots. Crazy good shots.

I feel like this comment is way sappy or gooshy or over the top, but you are one of my absolute favorites. Check my fav's page. You'll see.

Best of luck to you in the future. I hope to see your shots again somewhere. Someday. Somehow.

Johnny Rebellious says:: Thanks for making this site even more amazing than it already is. I remember following Whiskerino in 2007, and I have to say, seeing the incredible work you did was a huge reason why I knew I had to participate this year. You, sir, are greatness. We all love everything you do.

mackle says:: I have an email reply pending to go out your way. I've been swamped with all this Throwdown stuff and just haven't had a chance to properly write back to you.

Long story short, I will contact you soon and the NedKelly / Michael Eades connection will continue to some degree.

You have always been one of my favorites here. There's an air to your photos that is hard to describe - I think it's the stoic face mixed with the absurdity at times; same sort of trick that hale unconciously deploys. Your photos are great, your insight into your life is great, your art is FANTASTIC and your comments are hilarious as well.

I also massively appreciate that you help make Whiskerino a global phenomena. I know we don't have too many people doing this outside of the US but the handfull of them (yourself included) are insanely awesome.

Thanks for being here.. I'd love to see ya again for Moustache May.

Take care. Godspeed. and look for an email reply (finally) this week.

hale. says:: darren, you have been almost a separate whiskerino entity, due to distance and a quietly surreal way about you, but at the same time you are part of the core of what it is that makes whiskerino so incredible. to say that your are creative is a major understatement.

you have consistently amazed and enthralled me, and i am thankful that you were here.

i will be in touch. until then, be well.
