There is no such thing as photographic memory. Memories are abstractions...
Are you a Magritte fan?
Rene Magritte painted this:
Notice that the "painting within a painting" obscures and replaces the real-world objects that it represents. The real tree is hidden behind the artist's representation of a tree. The real cloud is hidden behind the artist's representation of a cloud. And so on.
Magritte's point is that people do not interact with the real world. Instead, they internalize their own representations or models of things that exist or things that happen in the real world, and people react to, and interact with, those internal representations.
