This is a beautiful story! When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! That child is beautiful and smart beyond and explanation! He could hang out in my garage anytime! May God continue to support him!
I have been following Anthony on Facebook for months, probably near the beginning of his being on there. Even after seeing Facebook pictures everyday, this video was over the moon. I just cried watching it. I think the whole family is special. So enjoying watching this journey. ♥️😎
I know, right? When some people think of Autism, I imagine some would think "Poor kid". But I think that with the right guidance, he can channel that Autism into something positive, like his car collection and displaying his cars. 🙂
I'm a photographer in wisconsin. Thanks for sharing your story. I grew up with Epilepsy that cause me to have seizures. If you asked me what I remember about my childhood I would tell you nothing except the stories I know by looking through photo albums. Today I have been seizure free for 20+ years.
I came here from the facebook post. Fantastic story that should be watched by so so so many people. Very inspiring. Life can be so simple and passionate as each one of us decides to.
I have watched this short video over and over. Anthony is amazing! His work is powerful and beautiful. Simple and elegant. Someday, I hope to meet Anthony as his passion for cars actually surpasses mine, something I never thought possible!
Wonderful story I can't wait till hopefully one day your UA-cam catches up and passes your Facebook. You truly deserve the views and these stories need to be seen and shared. Anthony you kick butt broski. Keep rocking and collecting your photos were breathtakingly beautiful.
Two years later and Anthony's enthusiasm has not diminished. He was given advice from a professional on composing his pictures and it has gotten even better. He even told about his hobby/obsession at a gathering of car enthusiasts. And he's becoming known all over the world. What an amazing and inspiring young man.
My friend Tripp is just like this on the spectrum but his hobby is wrestling and 80s movies. Can name any 80s movie, no matter how obscure, it's really cool
Great story about a great kid. Anthony's sense of detail and sensitivity to the feel and imagery are wonderful, and so too is this story. Well narrated, and told. You have a new subscriber Eric!
Best kids I ever worked with when teaching was when I worked with middle school Non-verbal Autistic boys. He reminds me so much of how special those boys where/are/ Love, love love this video. Thanks for making it and sharing it with us.
I’ve been following for atleast 4 years ! So glad I finally get to see this Documentary! You’re so inspiring! I love your Artistry! You’re very Special! Keep going!! 💛👩🎨
Your talent could make you a career for life young man. And you will be preserving history at the same time. I agree with another post, I think its time you start to build a full scale project for your first car.
Proud to be a member of his Facebook page and I find his talent to be an amazing one. Looking forward to buying his art in the near future for my next garage.
Dear Anthony Smith, greetings from Ukraine.From all my heart I would like wish you to be so successful.I so loves your beautiful English.You are so amazing boy. The best luck to you and to your family
He is an awesome young man and he gives me so much joy seeing him do what he loves. I wish him the best in everything he does. I hope he see's this post. If not, I hope someone close to him let's him know. Thank you!
and now a year later his pictures are leaps and bounds ahead of where he was then, his art is getting better by the day and the title of his new book coming out soon "Shifting Perspectives" is so very fitting in more ways than one as its not just changing how you see the cars its shifting your view on how you see him and those like him. well done Anthony. keep reaching for the stars.
This is such a beautiful story when I was a job coach I had a Asperger's individual who loves NASCAR statistics and I was able to get him and his mother free tickets to go to Loudoun to see the actual cars if he was obsessed with. I asked him how did he like it he says oh it was very noisy! Which was as good a thank you you could get. 🙂
Because of this episode of Eric's Little Heros, I have now ordered his calendar for two years, and have ordered one of his T-shirts for a Christmas gift ❤ I also follow Anthony on all of his social medias 😊
This kid is absolutely amazing. I've never seen anything so spectacular because of so many levels of achievement. I don't even know where to start. An iPhone? Are you kidding me? With a creative mind like his and the ability to see through all the technical B.S. this dude will go far. Based on what he has already achieved, there is no end to where his life will take him. His iconic accomplishments will definitely help me with some much needed motivation to be better with my own photography. This is unbelievable.
Eric is a true artist. His tools are models, Earth and the portraiture thereof. His skills are amazing at such a young age and yet I imagine they will only get better with time. I too have built models since I was quite young, started out with space ships and battleships before I moved on to cars. Then like Eric in my shop class at school we were assigned to design n build a model house. Afterwards I brought the house home and one fall day I did just what Eric did, I parked model cars in front of the house andbtook pictures. That was 45 years ago and to this day if someone sees the pics they ask where they were taken because they believe it's a completely real house n place to them, but they can't recall where they saw the house. I tell them out in the backyard. 😁 You keep it up Eric, yours are way better than mine and you've got one really fantastic start!
Absolutely phenomenal, I’ve loved cars ever since my mom bought me my first dime store toy car at about 1 1/2 to 2 years old. I thought I was a total car fanatic (which I am), but this kid has my beat. I’ve had a lot of die cast models too, but he’s got a lot more. Keep up this wonderful work, it is truly a gift!!! Absolutely wonderful
Great work, Anthony, super interesting! I'd love to see some vintage British and European sports cars, Jaguar, MG, Triumph, Morgan, etc. With your skill and imagination, I bet they would be fantastic images. Thanks for showing all of us your work!
This was marvelous!! Your imagination and devotion is sooooo impressive. Don't EVER stop! I look forward to seeing more. (I'll try to figure out how to join your page. .....see, I'm old and technologically inept. My kids had me believing for a whole year that L.O.L. meant Little Old Lady....!)
love the work he is an amazing person I love the work and model collection this guy has raw talent i wish i had the skills he does and his taste in cars is amazing words cant describe my enthusiasm seeing his content
God bless boys like Anthony. His obsession and love for vintage cars, and his artistic talent are amazing.
I thought for sure those were life size cars.Those scenes are better then Hollywood in many many movies. Great work, great Art. Keep it up.
This is a beautiful story!
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!
That child is beautiful and smart beyond and explanation!
He could hang out in my garage anytime!
May God continue to support him!
I was fortunate to meet this young man yesterday at my car club's gathering.. Such an inspiring kid!
I have been following Anthony on Facebook for months, probably near the beginning of his being on there. Even after seeing Facebook pictures everyday, this video was over the moon. I just cried watching it. I think the whole family is special. So enjoying watching this journey. ♥️😎
So have I. I wish I could meet him personally and talk to him and tell him how much I love his photography, that I'm also interested in cars.
What a beautiful, extraordinary young man! I didn’t want his story to end!
