Finding faces by shannejw

Finding faces

Get Pushed 78 - from Disha Parekh:
I recently discovered the word Pareidolia, which is a psychological phenomenon that allows us to see human faces in everyday objects. A common example is

Your challenge is to take a photo like that. And if you can't find one, just make one :)

This is a building on a cut through to the High Street from me with lots of details I like, grungy textures, pipes, wires, doors that were blue and red (now repainted) and this bit - a bottom corner - which looks like a face to me.

Hope that this meets the challenge Disha

I can see a face (even before I read your description!)

Good to see you back! Can definitely see a face here!

Great find! A friend sent me a link yesterday with faces in every day items. I thought that would be a good project when I struggled with a photograph for the day.

@steveh nothing so exciting, it's the back of the bakery, and obviously old. I think it's their store-room.

Sorry, I think I need psychological help.... but without being rude, all I saw in the example that you quoted was something completely different :?
January 18th, 2014  
Really affective and love the black and white

@markrlemon the example quoted was a bit extreme - there's a group on Flickr where you can post these faces - it's called I see faces everywhere http://www.flickr.com/groups/1369613@N22 - I can find trees around here too with faces, but was doing chores around the town

Building Personification. Nice find :)

@shannejw It's a good project, but could send be a bit more doo-lally, I know what you mean about trees... I'll check out the site... cheers.....
that's amusing :)

Cool photo…now I'm going to see faces everywhere!
January 19th, 2014  
I put a comment on your photo here...but now it is gone when I came back to post the link to a pic with a found face. Pareidoila is what that is called? Learn something new every day
January 19th, 2014  
A face indeed! wonderful shot!

@northy thank you - if you look on Flickr I've done this before, along with lots more shots of this wall ... (but I was playing with new camera settings and this is a different take) http://www.flickr.com/photos/12323897@N04/8432698583/in/set-72157629919873307 http://www.flickr.com/photos/12323897@N04/7631015192/in/set-72157629919873307

@shannejw it's an awesome wall :). I can see why it deserves more than one take!
January 19th, 2014  
Very nice! I can see the funny face!
