I have a good memory for things/kitsch/reciepts that came out of visiting a place or doing a thing. Short thread/
On one hand it makes it a bit sad when I clean house. Looking at a recipe to a pharmacy, I can reconstruct a vivid memory and my path through the store, interactions with people, where I was in the city, what I wore. Not photographic but reasonably high resolution.

There is no story to tell or anything meaningful to convey. They are ordinary moments from my life, stored in memory, triggered only by pieces of paper or knickknacks which get lost or thrown away.

A large plus of this kind of memory is the ability to visualize, develop, animate, and store spacial objects. I have design projects that I have carried around for years that I can recall at will and tinker with.

I wanted to tie this back to people. With the spatial memory mind, it's faster to show than tell. It's difficult to linearize and suffers from a mismatch of essence when trying to convert to language.

My earliest friends all became engineers of one sort. In my fond memories of them, silence dominates as we build or draw something. There is an unspoken relating that happens between people when they transform the physical world. /end
