    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&#x27;s a bit old-web now (on flickr! ancient history!) but they have a lot of good ones - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flickr.com&#x2F;groups&#x2F;facesinplaces&#x2F;pool&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flickr.com&#x2F;groups&#x2F;facesinplaces&#x2F;pool&#x2F;

      And even put out a book a while back.

      I like this horrified house - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flickr.com&#x2F;photos&#x2F;chelsea_steve&#x2F;55448046101&#x2F;in&#x2F;pool-facesinplaces&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flickr.com&#x2F;photos&#x2F;chelsea_steve&#x2F;55448046101&#x2F;in&#x2F;p...

    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.

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

    Now I want to contrast this with somebody else doing the exact same thing, because want to see how the next person&#x27;s faces have a different style and personality.
