Old-school beard snaps
“S/o to @Snapchat for releasing my official filter for the #FinalFour,” Przemek Karnowski tweeted Thursday, after the social media app released a sparkly, pink beard similar in shape and size to Karnowski’s (although the app didn’t officially release the name of the filter). While The Spokesman-Review could have used the filter to shoot photos across town, we decided to do it the old-fashioned way. We bought red-tinted beards of our own, and asked city leaders and fans to sport them. Here’s the end result. Take that, Snapchat.
