Product Description
Faces in places began its meteoric rise to fame as an internet blog that celebrated a collection of quirky, hilarious, surprising and madcap images captured by ordinary folk with an eye for the bizarre: the ability to see human-like faces in everyday objects. Now the blog has made the leap from screen to printed page. Marvel at this gallery of anthropomorphic faces that express a wealth of human emotion - love, hate, shock, curiosity, boredom, frivolity, surprise, intrigue, - in many forms, whether they are simple household gadgets and appliances, items of clothing, signs, trees, plants, rocks, automobiles, bikes, buildings or boxes. More than 100 contributors showcase their unusual photographs that will change the way you see the world around you. This book will also change the world for the better for many deprived and exploited children: a percentage of the proceeds of each book sold will be donated to the 'Hope for Children' charity.
About the Author
Amateur photographer Jody Smith inadvertently started Faces in Places when he spotted a common theme in his holiday snapshots, posted them on the web and soon realised that he wasn t the only person to recognise faces in inanimate objects. A blog followed, and the Faces in Places community grew exponentially. Jody, whose day job is commissioning digital projects for a TV broadcaster, lives in London, but uses the internet as his playground.

Funny faces.,
By GeekZilla "He's the strongest, he's the quick... (Doncaster, Yorkshire, UK.) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 50 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Faces in Places: A Photographic Collection of Faces found in Everyday Places (Paperback)
This is a book of rather fun photographs, not all are perfect on a technical level, but all are capable of raising a smile. It contains a series of photographs of inanimate objects from chairs to vacuum cleaners where 'faces' can be identified, a bit like seeing familiar things when looking at clouds. The variety of faces is amazing and range from scary to adorable!
There are 8 distinct sections in the book, my favourites being 'Creature Features' which resemble animal faces and 'Name That Face' where you try to guess what the subject of the photograph is (the answers are upside down on the page and each picture has a title which hints at the answer). It's an amazingly effective book and it's interesting to see how giving a face to an object really has an anthropomorphic effect and you find yourself projecting personalities onto something like a light switch! Many will look down on this book and any suggestion that it could be considered art, but presenting every-day objects in a way which makes the viewer look at them in a completely different way is something special and I think most people would struggle to pick this up and not flick through with a grin. In a nutshell: Boring objects are turned into a variety of faces in this book which would make an ideal gift for anyone with a sense of humour - any age. Adults will appreciate the alternative way of looking at the world and younger readers will be inspired to go and find faces themselves.

Great little book,
This review is from: Faces in Places: A Photographic Collection of Faces found in Everyday Places (Paperback)
A collection of pics of "faces" seen in the most unlikely places, this is a clever and funny book that may encourage you to go out and seek simulacra of your own. Some work better than others of course, but the very best are humorous, scary and a few are downright incredible. Great.

Faces In Places,

This review is from: Faces in Places: A Photographic Collection of Faces found in Everyday Places (Paperback)
Brilliant little book - I have brought this as a prezzie for a friend with an overactive imagination who spots faces in places all the time.
Couldn't resist a flick through myself and it cheered my up no end - lovely photos. This is an ideal book for any cloud gazer.
