when you have photograhic memory it means that when you see something it gets put in your long term memory.then you remerber what you saw and that is photograhic memory.
Write yourself two letters. Put on the envelope, open first. in that letter ask yourself to describe what just happened in the last few hours. In the second letter, write down everything you want to be able to remember (in descriptive detail) and put on the envelope "open 2nd". Mail them to yourself. Open the first letter and write down everything that you wrote in the 2nd letter without opening up the 2nd letter. When you are done, open the 2nd letter and compare the two (they won’t be exact but should contain enough similiarities to indicate that you can "picture" enough of the visual and audio stimulus to reproduce the event in your mind as if it just happened). That will let you know if you have photographic memory.
I find I run into alot of issues, because I do have photographic memory and I find that some people around me do not remember the details and they tend to embellish their memories with things that really did not take place. I learned to stop correcting them because they tend to get angry about it. I decided it’s their story, let them tell it any way they want. However, my boyfriend relies on it. We will be driving down the road and he will see a car for sale or something to that nature and then ask me later on for the phone number or address. Sometimes it does come in handy. Otherwise it is a burden cause I tend to see people as liars.
