I just watched the most amazing documentary (thank goodness for DVRs). Actually, the subject of the documentary is what was amazing. His name is Steven Wiltshire and he is referred to as The Human Camera because of his ability to draw buildings & cityscapes completely from memory after viewing for just a short period of time ~ right down the the exact number of windows, etc. He’s traveled the world drawing all the famous landmarks.  Even more amazing, is that Steven is autistic and has come a long way in dealing with this through his art. The documentary wrapped up with him drawing a spectacular aerial view of London (his home town) after taking just a 15 minute helicopter ride to memorize the view.

You can read more about Steven and his amazing ability here in this excellent article and see more of his images at his website.
