What is personal photo curation?

Personal photo curation is deliberately selecting the small set of images that matter from the thousands that exist — choosing the signal before any tool amplifies it.

Context

Every resurfacing system amplifies its input; curation is the input. The practical unit is small: twenty to fifty photos chosen in ten minutes beats any someday-project involving the whole archive.
