Well this guy has an incredible photographic memory, he can draw a entire cityscape with one fly over, here is a few of his videos showing his talent. I think this is amazing what he can do. Take a look at his website also: www.stephenwiltshire.co.uk |

If you're interested in that stuff, you should read the book Born on a Blue Day by Daniel Tammet. He's an autistic savant and he can recite 22,000+ digits of Pi from memory. He can memorize languages in about 2 weeks. The book is genuinely written and it's fascinating to read his explanations as to how he sees things in his mind and his thought processes behind things. |

The only reason I know what this is, is because there was an episode of House with Dave Matthews as a savant... in you guessed it; music. It was pretty neat to look up afterwords. You've gotta feel bad for those affected by it, but at the same time, we find it interesting. |

If savants fascinate you, you will love this guy. I forget if that video shows several of his paintings or just describes him, kind of, and I don't feel like watching it again to find out lol, but if it's not that one it'll be another one on YouTube. |

That's humbling and mesmerizing to watch, especially being an artist and just spending last night drawing under my magnifying glass lamp. Staring right at a stinking tea cup I have to look up constantly to get more details in my head. i only wish these guys didn't have to give up so much of life for their ability. |
