My year in photos/pictures spread in metallics (doesn't photograph well). I print out my favourite memories from each month with my sprocket and stick them in. I did it this year and loved it. It's such an easy way to remember the good things that happened. Criticism is, as always, appreciated. :)
You can make every treasured photograph come to life just by saying 're-live'. You can choose to enter into the memory for as long as you want but it won't affect time in the real world. You'll re-live the memory as if you were there again.
[WP] There was always a memory you've had, about a place, as in a dream -- vague and odd. It is distant, but intense. When you asked your parents about it they said you never went there and you must have dreamt it. Today you found a photograph.
[Serious] Without photographs, what are the best ways to compile a collection of memories or moments to present to someone as a gesture of true appreciation?
You can Zoom your eyesight like a camera and take pictures (as in photographic memory but also on a distance)
Of course your eyesight doesn't lose its focus or sharpness, up to a zoom of x100
Photographs were taken to relive the memories of places we've traveled to, but now we travel to places just to have photos taken and not live them

Made this in memory of my sweet girl, Demonikah. She passed back in June. And just like her, a giant pain to photograph.
After Eight Months Living in Taiwan as a photographer, here are my nostalgic memories of what I consider home

[WP] Each day, as you sleep, your IQ and EQ exponentially increases, you surpassed the world’s smartest minds within a week, solved all Millennium Prize Problems within two, and a photographic memory was a nice bonus during week three. Its now 5 years later.
Gouache painting of my friend's childhood home, reconstructed from memories and old photographs.
I just found a set of film photographs that I took nearly ten years ago floating around on Tumblr. The user that originally posted my photos linked them to my old and forgotten Flickr account. Spent the afternoon looking through it and relishing memories that I thought I had lost.
Photographs are the worst ways of preserving memories about a place
100s are going to Photograph a place exactly the same way. How does it matter if you take it too? What's the high in being able to copy an existing photo. Photographs is just to tell people "I been here as well". It's more a sharing medium to let others know about your travels. It's not a tool to actually remember the trip.

Is there anyway to achieve something close to photographic/eidetic memory, as a below average human being?
All I want in my life is to remember things. It's so bad that "out of sight, out mind" is a literal nightmare for me. As soon as something leaves my sight IT'S GONE! It doesn't matter what it is, it could be a trillion dollar bill, it could the cure to cancer, I would still forget it immediately.
This is beyond the scope of simple dieting, exercise, meditation, or whatever cookie-cutter bullshit suggestion there is.
Is there anybody in this community who is willing to share their secret cocktail for memory?
Photographs and memories, half burley, half brite.
Why are some people born with things like a photographic memory, or being as fast in math as a calculator etc?
Couple from US tour the world on bike, their Instagram was a cyclist's dream, and now a memorial as their group was recently murdered. Ignore the political garbage in the final photograph...

I've an eidetic memory. As much as media over the years, makes the more commonly term for it (photographic memory) out as something good, like a gift, it's more a curse than anything else. AMA.
AMA, will try and answer any question before I pass out. And will answer each question with 100% honesty.

Eibar captain Daniel Garcia on draw vs Real Madrid: "This was a historic draw for us. We got into the jacuzzi at the Bernabeu because these are the photographs that will remain in our memory forever. When we are older, we will remember days like this one."

Like old photographs, memories fade in quality over time - researchers expected recollections would become less accurate, but found people also report declines in the vibrancy and visual qualities of their memories.

LPT: if you’re looking through old photographs don’t just look at yourself. Examine the background. Sometimes an object will trigger a memory you never knew you had.
Photograph taken at a very peaceful Raglan Beach - North island. Was a heavenly morning, I cherish the memory.
TIL that the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust, the first of its kind in the US, was formed in 1961 by a group of Holocaust survivors who met during ESL classes at Hollywood High School. Their personal artifacts, photographs, and memories became the museum's initial primary collection.

Photographs and associated memories
I’m currently watching a Nova documentary about memory, and it has occurred to me that a lot of my memories are directly associated with the act of making a specific photograph. I thought this may allow for an interesting discussion here.
Do you have a photo which holds import mainly due to the memory associated with creating it? What’s the photo and what's its story?
For me it’s this shot I took in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. While I do love the photo itself, it’s not until I think about how I made it that it really starts to shine for me.
I was at an open-air performance of la Traviata in an ancient Roman amphitheater. The weather had been touch and go all day, but they decided the show must go on. About halfway through the first act, it spontaneously began to pour. Everyone in the audience simultaneously took out their umbrellas - everyone but me.
What I lacked in umbrellas, I made up for with camera. The rain lasted less than a minute (somehow), but I managed to get the shot just as I envisioned (somehow) - showcasing what looked to me like a wave of umbrellas - mirroring the violent downpour. When thinking back to that performance, I have hazy memories of the incredible soprano, faint memories of the conductor’s enthusiasm, but extremely clear memories of making this shot.
tl;dr: Share a photo which enhances your memory of an event - what’s its story?

During WWII soldiers were known to personalise their pistols with sweetheart-grips these consisted of plexiglass usually from downed aircrafts. They would put their loved ones photographs inside as a way to always have them close.
When Abernathy malfunctioned over the photograph, he expressed confusion over the photo's setting. Perhaps the photo triggered a memory of a trip to the outside world, like the trips we saw several hosts take in S2E2?
Abernathy said "have you ever seen anything like this place?" Well, several hosts have seen something like the place in the photograph: all of the hosts who participated in the sales pitch to Logan. We know Abernathy was one of the earliest hosts--and one who was already reciting Shakespeare confidently when many other hosts were still learning stiff and mechanical dance moves--so there's a good chance Abernathy attended these types of parties and events where hosts were used for entertainment.
This strikes me as a great potential explanation for Abernathy's malfunction, and one that doesn't require us to invent a concept with no basis in Westworld's canon.
Having a photographic memory can be as much of a curse as a blessing. Imagine not having the luxury of random encounters on google that you otherwise wouldn't have when trying to remember something.
A photograph is a return ticket to a memory.
I have a very vivid memory for patterns and faces though I can't see them in my head, would this count as a "photographic" memory?
Is there a type of "photographic" memory for people with aphantasia? Like I take in a person's features analytically (Like a description of their face) and can remember it very very well and can recall it, like well enough to make people think I can see a person in my head though I can't. (I can also remember room layouts and patterns vividly though I can't see anything in my head)
What was photographic memory called before photographs?
I mean, someone had to have photographic memory before photography, right?
Just visited Auschwitz and I spent a lot of time viewing old photographs of imprisoned families that were posted on a memorial wall. This one stood out to me as my favorite. (1936) [2434x1622]
You can manipulate the muscle memories of any person within your field of vision. Photographs, mirrors, and videos can extend your range.

I've tried almost everything ranging from dietary approaches to exercise to amphetamine (modafinil, adderal, etc).
I really need all the advice I could get on this.
