Exercise 1 - Name That Photo

In this exercise, we are going to look at a type of metadata you may be more familar with. All of us have pictures at home that we or someone we know has taken. If you're like most people, they are probably stuffed in a shoebox and tucked away somewhere. Do you write down anything on the back of your pictures? If you do, you are recording a type of metadata.
