The Makings of Photos

This week I've been doing a lot of research on stored photos on android phones. Every photo we take saves data. It can have where we took the picture, when, and where it is saved. One problem I am noticing is that when someone sends you a photo, android phones create new data to go with the photo. The date and time saved with the photo is when you saved it onto your phone. To access that photo, we need to follow the path of where it is saved.  All our photos are saved in the dcim folder, or the data center infrastructure management folder. I'm realizing I have to be careful when accessing the photos since they are in the dcim folder but also within a subfolder of that. I know that on my phone, photos are stored in different folders depending on how I got them. The photos from my camera are stored in a camera subfolder. The photos that someone sent me that I downloaded to my phone are saved into another subfolder. This means I need to be careful what path I look down to find the photos. If you go down the wrong path, you won't find what you are looking for.
