My ex-boss had a photograhpic memory. It amazed me.
I don't know if I'd love to have a photographic memory. There are some things I've seen or read that I don't want to remember and become quite happy when the memories start to fade.
But just imagine how good you would be at Trivial Pursuit! Even with a photographic memory I am sure there are some things you can still manage to block out!
I have a photographic memory, but only for things I have read. I can close my eyes and literally "see" a page in my mind. This helped more than words can tell in school, I never really "studied", I just gave all my notes and the text a good read-through.
On the other hand, I am TERRIBLE with names and faces, and I am constantly forgetting what it is I went to the store for, etc, unless I make a list!
I also can remember what I have seen on a page or something if I am reading, but if I don't make a list to go to the grocery store with I am a goner! lol.
