This is awesome. Some friends and I have a group chat called ThingFaces where we do the same thing.

We noticed that there's organic ones (in tree knots/clouds) or random ones (cracks in cement, rust peeling) or man-made ones (anything designed).

I especially love ones involving a shadow hitting something at just the right angle - those feel extra hard to find :)

Thanks for sharing this!

Are you familiar with "facesinplaces" ?

It's a bit old-web now (on flickr! ancient history!) but they have a lot of good ones - https://www.flickr.com/groups/facesinplaces/pool/

And even put out a book a while back.

I like this horrified house - https://www.flickr.com/photos/chelsea_steve/55448046101/in/p...

A relevant reminder in an age where we perceive minds within machines capable of generating text.

Does anyone else find these photos really relaxing to look at?

As someone with mild prosopagnosia I find some of them rather frustrating instead. Interestingly I can find a face in many of them, but some are effectively impossible.

Now I want to contrast this with somebody else doing the exact same thing, because want to see how the next person's faces have a different style and personality.
