The Human Camera

Quite frankly, this is incredible.

The below is a quick excerpt from a show called Beautiful Minds detailing the incredible ability of Stephen Wiltshire. Stephen is autistic and he is nicknamed "The Human Camera" for his ability to draw detailed pictures of cities from memory.



And for some local flavour, here is a video of him drawing HK (I don't know when he was here - however, I recognise IFC in the video so it can't have been that long ago).

Wow - i just keep getting amazed at what the human mind can do. Shame it requires something like autism to drive the ability to the depths that we see. Similar sort of thing with autistic math whizzes and musicians.
