I take snapshots on film for fun and sometimes don't develop the film for a few months. When I finally see the photos I've taken, I might have forgotten most of the detail from that time. I see the photo and it jogs my memory. But I'm never sure if my memory is a hallucination extrapolated from the photo or if I'm using the photo to recall something that I just needed help to remember. It's like that experiment that showed people a faked picture of themselves in a hot air balloon. Many of the people shown this false photo would respond by creating false memories. My photos are really me but I wonder how accurate is any recollection beyond the photo.
