A Norwegian once taught me a very simple technique for taking photographs using eye and brain. We were awaiting the sunrise at Masada. Another recipe for burning an image permanently on to your retinas, is to associate it with some prickly negative emotions. A tiny bit of embarrassment tinged with fear is enough.
