			==Changing Timezone==
			Think through if the photo timezone should be set to the timezone in which it was taken or in one's native timezone.
			I'm still working through this myself but am strongly leaning toward setting/keeping the timezone in which the photo was taken. This will allow the filename to reflect the time of day (locally) in which it was taken. If I see "2020-01-01 13:45 - Ireland - Castle Excursion - Group photo.jpg" I know it was taken mid-day versus, say an 09:45 time (converting to EST), and thinking I was there in the morning.
