Faces Everywhere

Ever get the feeling you're being watched? Book reveals hilarious collection of 'faces in places' which pop up in everyday life

By Mark Duell

A father-of-one has compiled a hilarious book showing just how many expressions can be found in everyday objects and locations.

Jody Smith, 36, of London, has compiled the collection of images from around the world into 'Faces in Places' after starting a blog charting his own observations.

More than 6,000 people have posted images to it, and the book is in aid of the Hope For Children charity. He said: 'The only rule is that it has to be a randomly occurring or accidental face.'
