There are some bizarre notions in here. I used to be a big picture taker at events like concerts, and I realized that I never look at the things. Why? Because a picture can't really capture the "vibe" of being there - worse, not being present in the moment of the concert means the actual, emotionally charged, memories are diluted because I'm paying attention to my phone. Having the picture often made the memory less…
When I'm traveling I try to do this curation the same day of taking the photo. In practice it's a great time at night to go through all photos of the day and discuss any interesting ones with your partner.
Also for this reason I almost never take videos. They are too troublesome to curate. Going through photos is quick. It takes only a second to decide to whether it is worth keeping. And once you decide it is, it takes less than a minute to touch up on the curves and the colors.
