REVIEWS
For anyone wishing to do this type of alignment analysis, I heartily recommend Joelle Steele's "Face-to-Face" publication as a great place to start. - Brian Mida Bleecker
I enjoyed this book and found it very interesting. As a collector, it gave me a much better idea of what to look for when I think I might have found a historic face in an old Daguerreotype. - Dean Sutherland, Rancho Santa Fe,
California
Now I see why this is such a specialized practice. I can see that everything is in measuring the bones and observing the details, while keeping in mind that it's a two-dimensional image. Thanks for a fascinating read. - Bob Soles, Cambridge, Massachusetts
Thanks for such a wealth of information and so many great tips on how to use it all. We have six old family albums full of faces we had given up on identifying, and now we've ID'd more than half of them. - H. & E. Qvist, Port Orchard, Washington
This book was great, and it helped me identify the old painting I had that turned out to be my great-great-grandmother. It looked like an old photo of her but measuring it out confirmed it. - G. Gaubault, Perth, Australia
I was surprised at all the things there were to look at in the human face, and I can see how the ears in particular are important. - Richard W., Vero Beach, Florida
This is definitely a subject that requires a lot of study and practice in order to be accurate in identifying people in photos. I hope I'm up to the challenge! - Gayle Bergman, Ottawa, Canada
