I have a "sort of" photographic memory recall, because when i'm taking a test, I can picture where in a textbook the answer is when I don't know it right off the top of my head.
St. Pauli Girl, I remember where things are in books that I've read and the layout of the page that things are on. I can't actually read the text and I don't usually remember the page number. But still, this ability came in really handy for writing research papers in college. I would just read the books, think about what I wanted to write, flip to the relevant quotes as I typed in it, done! My classmates were laboriously copying things onto 3x5 cards and making outlines, etc. For me, papers just came fully formed from my brain.
