any explanation for photographic memory?

Do you have any explanation for photographic memory? How is it possible that some people seem to remember things in such vivid detail after only a brief glance?
-
Photographic memory doesn't exist.
This is a bullshit myth.
What exist is the use of mnemonics techniques to retain and revisit some memory, knowledge.
Search the artofmemory forum.
They have a lot of free material about this subject. -

Using mnemonics techniques it's possible to learn and memorize a lot of things faster, which looks like the person has photographic memory.
A normal person can maintain between 5 to 7 ideas before forgeting one of them.
Like, if you were to remember a list of items to buy. You can in average remember up to seven items to buy. As you add more items you become more likely to forget.
Using mnemonic techniques your capacity to remember random ideas/objects becomes much much greater.
The first time i used mnemonics i jumped from 7 to 100. The second test i did using mnemonics i memorized almost 200 items.
There are many competitions and challenges mnemonic artists compete.
Memorizing: deck of cards, random items, binary numbers, random numbers, poetry, etc...But those things are not acomplished because of a intrinsic born ability like photographic memory.
It's actually learned and trained. -

It's actually learned and trained.No, you Can re live a visual experience just as it happened, with 0 training, it Can happen. Sometimes i spend time sitting expose to sunlight, and when i lie down at night, i get flash of light, and i see what i saw when i was sitting expose to sunlight

@water-fire yes, this is totally possible.
What i am denying is the existence of photographic memory.
A person born with the ability to naturally memorize and remember everything in it's life at will. Capable of only seeing book pages and remember letter by letter without ever training their mind to do such. -

John von Neumann and other Hungarian aliens from early 20th century, they just came to this world with super computer in their head. But maybe there is a role for diet too, the department where John von Neumann worked had very high sugar consumption.
Mnemonic techniques work only so far, photographic memory comes naturally to some people.
