The Thorough File Naming Convention for Contributors

1. The initials of the Author Name (First name Last name)
   For example, Vivian Maier would have VM initials.
   VM
2. Write dates back to front.
   State the date ‘back to front’, and use four-digit years, two-digit months, and two-digit days: YYYYMMDD or YYYYMM or YYYY or YYYY-YYYY.
   2022-09-26
3. Finally, you need to number your photos. Use two digits at the end of their filename.
   01

The file names would look like:
VM-2022-09-26-01.jpg
VM-2022-09-26-02.jpg
VM-2022-08-21-01.jpg
VM-2022-08-21-02.jpg

How to write compelling captions?

A basic photo captions should:

• Clearly identify the people and locations that appear in the photo.

Be brief. Most captions are one or two short, declarative sentences.
