    Default The Human Camera

    http://drawn.ca/2006/10/03/the-human-camera/

    "Stephen Wiltshire is a human camera. He’s an autistic man who accurately draws entire cities from memory after a single 45-minute helicopter ride — right down to the correct number of windows in each building."

    Amazing.

    Yes photographic memory is a very uncommon thing in people but apparently you can train yourself to do it.. doing it down to that scale though is amazing

    Its amazing with photographic memories, its either youre born with it or youre not. And it doesnt really make you a smarter person like people assume, but it sure as hell gives you an advantage.
