Cerebral Palsy Doesn’t Stop 13-year-old Shutterbug
Matt Milligan has a natural eye for photography.
He doesn’t have the hand for it, but patience and that natural eye more than help him make up for it.
Matt, 13, was born with ataxic cerebral palsy. Doctors told his parents he might never walk.
“I have trouble with my fine motor skills,” says Matt, a Bonita Springs home school student. “Sometimes my hands shake, so I want an image stabilization lens (for his camera).”
Matt finds ways around his shaky hands, though. He takes lots of photos of the same subject, knowing at least one will turn out, and uses a monopod.

This leaves me speechless. His inner strength and positive attitude is quite humbling.
