I can forget a name, but I never forget a face.

What kind of memory do you have?
I'm not very good at memorizing people's names, but I always remember their faces. So, according to what scientists say, I have a photographic memory.
I can go years without seeing a person, but I never forget her face (unless the person has made a drastic change in the face, haha).

@WiseGhots I've forgotten the names of so many students except the really good ones and the really bad ones.

Can you do that with places too? Or just with people?

I am pretty good at both actually. I am more likely to forget a name than a face though.

Faces I can remember but names I have trouble remembering.

It happens to me, I usually remember the face but not the names, but what about that awkward moment when you get with someone who studied with you many years ago and he or she remembers your name and but you do not, and they converse for a while and they exchange telephone, and you stay watching and he/she says: you do not remember my name right? hahahaha
