Nearby noticings - ignore the older ones for scoring?
Following on from the blog entry (and good to see Nomic getting a name-check) - how about only counting the nearness bonus for the most recent (five?) noticings in a place? A slow suburb might not even have five, but in a busy area, the bonus areas will move around as people notice different things. Maybe "active" is a good adjective to describe them, given that they could persist for a long time in a quiet area; "Example photo scored 15 for being noticed, and being noticed near an active noticing."
You could also mark them with different pins on the map, so that if I'm exploring new territory and wondering where to hunt for bonuses, I'm given five particular pinpoints to consider investigating, rather than a sweeping "eh, try anywhere in Soho and you'll probably hit something".

I’m self-amending.

Inappropriate?We definitely need to think about the nearness problem. I've been exploring weighting the nearby distance by population density. Using only recent noticings is another good idea, but I worry we might loose some of the coincidences in lower density areas. In some ways, nearby bonuses is useful to create links around the site for people to hop around.
There could be a decay - reduced points for distance (in time). More for more recent.
Any thoughts?
