In one embodiment, a method includes automatically and without user input grouping one or more images captured by a first user into clusters of particular moments based at least in part on metadata associated with one or more of the images or data determined through analysis of one or more of the images. Each particular moment being associated with a particular geo-location and time. The method also includes, for each of one or more of the clusters, determining curating information corresponding to the cluster based at least in part on the metadata associated with images in the cluster, the data determined through analysis of images in the cluster, or social-graph information associated with images in the cluster; and providing the clusters of images and at least some of the curating information corresponding to them for display on a computing device of the first user.
