I dont know if this is what you are talking about but I have noticed so many times that when trying to recall an event I took a photo of, first image I get in my head is that photo. I try build the rest around that photo and it only works for very old photos/memories. For recent ones (e.g. photos of my newborn) I only see the photo in my head instead of the actual visual event. This makes me sad when I try to remember seeing him for the first time, I can only remember a few things and lots of photos. Now to mitigate that, I still take photos but avoid reviewing them immediately. I would rather go through them later when trying to recall. When I review immediately, it feels like the photo overrides the visual memory of the real event.
