I shutter to think about the possibilities. What a flash of genius. It's a idea that needs to be further developed, but only if you open your mind in a dark room.

The whole notion of having a photographic memory is that you actually can store and recall images in your mind.
The whole notion of a camera is to archive a moment in time onto some sort of media, whether it was tin plates, photographic paper or digital memory.
Now to become a camera, you must use your memory to create a physical version of the image in your head. If you are a good artist then yes, you could certainly become a "Human Camera."

There is one person I know of who is dubbed 'the human camera'. He is an autistic savant and has a photographic (eidetic) memory and can draw a panoramic scene in fine detail after studying it for only one hour.
He has flown over cities in a 30-45 minute helicopter flight, and can reproduce what he has seen...even down to the correct number of windows in each building.
His name is Stephen Wiltshire and there are a number of videos of him on YouTube.
P.S. Dr. Sam, that quip gets a thumbs up from me...lol

You may have a hard time getting your pictures developed.
