Drawing a large area of a city from memory after a 45 minute helicopter ride seems an impossible task. Yet Stephen Wiltshire, aka the Living Camera, did it in Rome with incredible detail. This is not his first 3 meter wide panorama. Starting with Tokyo in 2005, he has drawn Rome, Hong Kong, Frankfurt, Madrid, Dubai, Jerusalem, London and New York on giant canvasses. His most recent trips took him to Sydney and Shanghai in 2010.
