Do you see faces?

I see faces everywhere. In the woodwork. In the carpet. In the ceiling. In the clouds. Fires are the best. Staring at a piece of wood forever, you'll go through five faces easily in the same piece of wood in a matter of minutes. I'm not much of an artist, but I'll doodle random lines and curves until I see a face, and then I'll fill in the features. Those always turn out more realistic (or aesthetic in a cartoon sense) than if I had consciously tried to draw a face. Do you see faces?
 
Better than being "face blind" which an actual condition where people can't recognizes faces.

The neurologist Oliver Sacks is face blind.
 
I see faces all the time, kind of fun to look at things in a more abstract way, if that makes any sense to any of you.

Mazdas have faces. People used to not buy them simply because the car lookied like it was smiling at them. Mazda uses this as a marketing tool. Very subtle tool, but it is effective.

I saw Seth Rogens face in the snow under the chairlift. That's the best place to look for stuff.
 
Evolutionary psychologists think it's because it is easier to tell friend from enemy even in poor lighting conditions. Or something along those lines.

The phenomenon is called pareidolia.
