Is there any way to try and develop a photographic memory?

While digging through the net for information on scout-sniper training, I  found the following interesting games as part of their observational  skills training, known as the KIMS game: It goes something like this. A  number of different objects are placed randomly on the table: a   bullet, a paper clip, a bottle top, a pen, a piece of paper with   something written on it. They may be 10 to 20 items. Trainees are given a minute or so to look at everything on the table. Then, they have to go back to their desks & describe what they saw. They are not allowed to say "paper clip" or "bullet". They have to say, like, "silver, metal wire, bent in two oval shapes." In other words, the training requires you to observe the objects more closely or critically. The foregoing game is repeated with more objects to look at and with less time to look at them. To add to the challenge, the time between seeing the objects and  describing what is seen gets longer as the scout-sniper training goes  on. By  the end, they may see 25 objects in the morning, train whole day, and   then at night be asked to write down descriptions of all the things   they saw in the morning. I trust the foregoing games can give you some ideas about "photographic mmeory" exercises.

By training yourself, gradually adding more complex pictures for observation and description of compositions after the observation period is over.
