My name is Sarah, I live in southern CA and I'm 24.
I can tell you where anything is after spending time in a place. This is especially true with my home and place of work. It's not stored as a video clip or picture in my mind but rather retained similar to a card catalog in a library. My photographic memory is activated when asked a question regarding the location of an item. At that moment I sort of focus or zoom in with precision and detail. The intriguing fact being that my brain takes note or catalogs every item (without my knowledge/subcosciencely), wherever I go. All the while I stand clueless yet (ok I admit), totally impressed as I give honed-in coordinates for an object.
!! I would appreciate input from a doctor or someone knowledgeable who can tell me how I have come to be and what it means !!
