The Amazing Human Camera

The other day I was talking about a series  that ran a year ago in the UK called, Extraordinary People. I managed to catch one of the episodes about an amazing teenager called Stephen Wiltshire. He is autistic but is blessed with an amazing ability. He has a photographic memory.

Ok, you maybe thinking its not THAT special. But when I tell you, he uses his memory to draw exactly what he saw, to such a high level of detail, that does sound more special. But if I told what he actually draws from memory, I don’t think you would believe me. So check out the 5 minute clip, to see exactly how brilliant (to the level of genius), this guy is.

    SaRooN : I don’t think there is anyone like him in the world ! :)

    Night Flower : Yeah I know, he’s autistic but so gifted.

    N : Having one of his paintings would be so cool. I guess that’s the going rate for a piece by a genius..
