Stephen Wiltshire draws Tokyo from memory

(www.stephenwiltshire.co.uk)
One of Stephen's extraordinary abilities is to memorize landscapes up to the highest detail. During this flight he had a thorough look at the view of the Japanese capital from the helicopter including thousands of buildings, towers, high-ways, cars, buses, even down to intricate details of trees and windows. Following the 30 minutes ride Stephen seemed to be very excited and ready for the challenge.

I think the music helps him to memorize the landscape ontop of his montrous ability, because sound associations with vision is really common so i wouldnt be surprised. But this is horrendously amazing.

my feeble human brain can't fathom how this man did that. i'm astounded, stunned, perplexed, dazed, and confused...

There's also too many details to go over. Unless they're willing to pay someone to sit for a week and go over everything little by little. But even then, I'm sure that person would give up. The guy is THAT good there's no need looking for mistakes lol.

This is really amazing- it makes me feel really insignificant to watch him draw like that, I don't think anyone else could accomplish something like that!
