Magnificent Specimens-Photography by Dave Mead

On Sunday Erik and I ventured over to North Mississippi Street to check out Land Gallery and take in the fabulously satirical "Magnificent Specimens" photography collection by Dave Mead. Debuting the world's best facial coifs, some of the beards in the photographs were incredible and the show couldn't have been more magnificent. And, since Erik has been working the bearded look himself, he really took a liking to the display.

This piece was Erik's absolute fav. He lost it, just lost it when he saw it.

We were so inspired by the Magnificent Specimen exhibit we had to leave with goodies. Erik picked up a calendar showing Dave Mead's collection of world winning beards and 'staches and I picked up a plushtache pin! It was a great outing with a lot of Portland spirit.
