The Floating Beards of Photographer Austin Caine!

Photographer Austin Caine's Floating Beards project is pretty much sure to bring a smile to even the staunchest grump. Caine teamed up with a band of good-natured lads from the Beard and Mustache Club of North Carolina at their annual competition in Charlotte last weekend and the results are pure magic. Caine captures each of these hirsute gentlemen's whimsical inner-selves in a way that is undeniably endearing and often quite hilarious.
