yes.
Eidetic memory, photographic memory, or total recall, is the ability to recall images, sounds, or objects in memory with great accuracy and in seemingly unlimited volume. Eidetic comes from the greek word eidos which means "image."
Many famous artists and composers, like Claude Monet and Mozart, may have had eidetic memory. However, it is possible that their memories simply became highly trained in their respective fields of art, as they each devoted large portions of their waking time towards the improvement of their abilities. Such a focus on their individual arts most likely improved the relevant parts of their memory, which may account for their surprising abilities.

thats just having a really good memory. having a photographic memory involves making pictures of things -- like if you can remember where everything is on this screen after you shut off your computer then you have a photographic memory. it involves making snapshots of things in your head. people with really good photographic memories can take the snapshots and not even read everythng -- but go back and pull up the stuff because they have a snaphot of it tucked in their heads.
