Is it normal that i can remember things in detail??

I think I have the capacity for eidetic (photographic) memory, however I don't know how to utilise it.

I have always been able to remember things that people wouldn't normally remember. I can run series of events through in my head and see them almost as clearly as if I was still there. I can remember pages in books and whether it was top middle or bottom, left or right page. I can also hear sounds to great detail and smells.
Is this normal?

Is there anyone who thinks they have this that can help me enhance it?

    It's just basic memory reminiscences and enhanced senses when wary of surroundings, I do the same thing all the time. I remember back in school I would take a review memorize it then the next day just copy all the answers from memory (i.e. this is how I passed a 50 question Latin test without knowing any Latin), also I am not a prodigy.

    That's a really good thing! For studying and whatnot. & Whoever you date will love it too. I can be the same way too, I remember things most people wouldn't but it's not as intense as yours. When's your birthday..?:0

      They're looking for advice, not being arrogant - so don't make assumptions.
