Hair - Sepia Saturday

For someone who's follicularly challenged (on my head at least) I was dismayed to see the beard on display in Alan's photo.






But not to be outdone I found a Mr Aitkins on a CDV on a local market stall.

So far I haven't found anymore details about this bearded man. The reverse of the card just carries the photographer's details.



My second beard is much neater, but again the man remains a mystery although the photographer Francis Bacon operated at 105 Northumberland Street in Newcastle.

You might accuse me of being biased if I did not include a lady in this post - but not a bearded one.

As for me it's a case of hair today, gone tomorrow, so you might like to read what I wrote in 2009. Hair-Today-Gone-Tomorrow
