Why Year-Based Organization:
- Photo filenames were random (IMG_1234.jpg style)
- EXIF date extraction provides chronological order
- Preserves timeline of Consultants' lives
- Easy to see evolution over years
- Unknown folder for photos without dates
WHY THIS MATTERS
This is not just a photo album.
This is:
- The team that advised on Firefrost Gaming
- The family that supported Michael and Meg
- Jack, who saves Michael's life daily
- Oscar, who found his forever home
- Jasmine, who protects Meg
- Butter, who ruled for 8 years
- Noir, who watches from the shadows
When Michael and Meg's children inherit Firefrost Gaming, they will know:
- The servers their parents built
- The infrastructure they created
- The love they shared
- And the five consultants who were there from the beginning
