What you are describing is an eidetic memory and coincidentally, I happen to know all 3 of the people you are talking about. One of them is Stephen Wiltshire who is an autistic savant who paints very detailed pictures from the perspective of a one time panoramic view with great accuracy. Jill Price has a condition called hyperthermesia in which the individual has superior recall over the events that transpired in their life. She was blessed with suck though since she remembers everything (including traumatic events and emotional depressions with absolute clarity). And last but not least, the Mega-savant who memorizes 97% of everything he has read, seen, and heard is Kim Peek. He reads one page with one eye and the other page with his other eye simultaneously allowing him to burrow through books with ease. He is a really nice guy to talk to and the inspiration for the film "Rain Man". Chuck Norris is another example since he remembers everybody he has defeated. *I had to include that*
