The HAIR INDIA team
- Author/Pogonologist, Richard McCallum & Photographer Chris Stowers
- Our mission, since the Autumn of 2006, has been to seek out the most bizarre and magnificent examples of facial foliage across India. The results are to be published in May 2008 in the 140-pg, full-colour coffeetable book "Hair India". McCallum and Stowers first met in Delhi in the Spring of 2006; McCallum, a long term resident of the Indian capital, had held for ages a desire to make a book about beards. Stowers, based in Taipei, was at a loose end and instantly saw the projects' potential. Both were clean-shaven at the time ...
The Great Lal Qila False Beard Debate!
Ever noticed those guys hawking false beards at the entrance to Old Delhi's Red Fort (Lal Qila)? What are the beards for, and why here in particular?? The Hair India Team have asked all their many moustachioed contacts but, so far, no valid explanation has been forthcoming.
Now is the chance to add your voice to the Great Debate! If you think you can solve the Lal Qila False Beard Mystery, or even just have some clues, then send in your comments now. First prize? A false beard, of course!
