I'm not sure how a video beats a photo-of-the-day

I hadn't thought about this before but perhaps it's because the mind doesn't actually remember snapshot images, we don't work that way. We remember events comprising several images, sounds, smells and emotions. In that way, perhaps describing memory as a series of short video snippets is more accurate than the traditional photographic memory model.
