No, I'm not pulling your collective legs. I don't give a rat's ass about what time is stamped on my photos. If I set the time it was just using a good estimate of what the time actually was. I can assure you it's not been adjusted for DST, or corrected in any way. I just don't give an effin' damn about the time in my camera.
I use Photoshop, and from what I can see, it doesn't require that the time and date be set in order for me organize my photos. Organizing pics by numbers - any numbers - doesn't work for me anyway. They are organized by subjects, such as a folder in which the pics I made in San Francisco with Godfrey are in one main folder. Then, they are later organized by subject. And then by individual pictures. I remember things by events, not the time of day they took place. Duct tape doesn't work to cover the clock in the microwave. If the numbers are covered it's impossible to see the time set for cooking or, as I've often done, for using the timer for developing film. Why should anyone care whether I have clocks in my home, or if they are set to the correct time? I'm sorry i brought it up. Next time I'll keep my mouth shut about my personal idiosyncrasies.
