Sounds to me like you have a form of eidetic memory. That's a pretty cool ability to have. Being a lesser human, I'm lucky if I can remember what Mom told me five seconds ago. (I'm not exaggerating.)
I've seen that before, but it's not like the memories last forever and you can just carry a tape recording of everything you've ever heard or anything like that. I've never quite been able to do the same thing visually, though I've been able to form strong visual images for a very short time when concentrating.
That said, it has always seemed weird to me that people can't remember the exact words people just said and that they always seem to change them, if only a little.
