Techniques for automatically identifying famous people and/or iconic images are provided. Object descriptors (or 'faceprints') of the famous people and iconic images are generated and 'shipped' with a digital image management application used by an end-user. The digital image management application analyzes a digital image (generated, for example, by a digital camera operated by the end-user) to detect an object, such as a face, and generates a faceprint. The digital image management application compares the faceprint to the faceprints of the famous people and/or iconic images. If a match is found, then data that identifies the corresponding person or object is displayed to the end-user.
