Yes, it is possible to have a photographic memory or a good enough memory to remember many things. Here's how. Er... damn, I forgot! No, only kidding.:)
Want to learn loads of lines from a book, play etc - how's how to have a photographic memory. Break each word into its syllables. For example take the word 'tomorrow'. Say 'to' 'mor' 'row 'and create visual images for each syllable. For example: 'to' would be the letter 2, 'mor' could be Roger Moore (the James Bond actor) and
'row' could be rowers in a boat race. Make a connection between the three syllables - such as a big number 2 trying to shoot Roger Moore as Bond and he then escapes in a rowing boat. If you create visual images for each syllable and connect them together and repeat them for a while the words will sink in.
You can also use this technique for remembering people's faces, numbers, items on a shopping list etc.
Take a person's features, eg their nose and associate it with their name or their clothes. Exaggerate the association and you'll remember it. These word/visual associations take time, you've got to practise it but it does work. Whether or not some people are born with photographic memories, it's hard to say, perhaps some people are born with some extra gift of recall, but you can train your memory to learn with visual aids. It does take some time to train your memory to use visual aids to remember names, text, numbers etc so look at it as a long term goal. Associate what you want to remember with images, make a connection between the images and repeat them and you'll start to remember them with comparative ease. Good luck.

All of us have photographic memories. We just can't always access the information when we want it. There are lots of memory training courses all over the web, but I'd check out my local library and see what books they have on it there.

It is real.. I met someone a long time ago that could memorize the whole page of a book "word for word" in less than a minute.

You'll have to copy and past this link, and remove the 3 little dots, and leave a space.. For soem reason it won't work.
