Here's a new script: Goes through all the folders for which you call it and finds and organizes JPG images.

The need came when i downloaded all my Google Photos and wanted to organize them in year and month folders.

Basically the script reads the EXIF data in the images and moves them into photos/<year>/<month>. If it cannot read the metadata, or fails parsing the date, or another weird reason, it skips that image and moves on.

One of the most annoying parts of setting up Elastic Search on AWS is the way access is configured for that service. From what i've gathered you have one of two options to protect it:

1. Make sure it's running internally only (i.e. not internet facing and only available to the other services on the same VPC)
2. Completely open to the internet and eventually relying (if you can make it work) on the Cognito authentication service

Typically you would, as we did, go for the path of least resistance ...
