I have a partially photographic mind. It's not great, but if I study about 5 minutes before the exam I can see the note cards or pages of the book. If it's too much longer than 5 minutes before, though, then I have trouble recalling the image. :)

I envy you, this ability of yours obviously comes and will come even more very handy. Is it just the memory of things you see which you recollect easily, or is it the same for you with remembering names of people, for example. I guess when you are at an event where people wear name tags you’re on top, but how about casual aqcaintances. Do you remember their names easily. Would just be great. I wish you all the best, and hope you will find lots of opportunity to use that ability.

Hey there! That's an amazing gift you have! I wish I had a photographic memory. I have a good memory and can remember things but not as well as you. I forget things after a while like after studying or reading something, I sometimes have to read it more than once to remember it.

I too have same kinda mind. But I can't draw as it is. But I can recall the image I saw. I could recall the image of some pages in my text books which I used few years back. I can recall the image of the page which contains the answer for the frequently asked exam question. But I can't sketch as you do!

Haha, I for sure do not have photographic memory, though I wish that I do. Photographic memory is such an awesome tool that would help with all my schoolwork, especially now that I'm in college. I knew someone though that had photographic memory. All he had to do was read a book once and he was ready for the next test. =[ So lucky...

I have a photographic mind.I remember images more than words or codes.my mind registers colors,pictures,and shapes much clearer.it explains why I'm quite inclined to the creatives like fashion and culinary.
