Pro Tips:
1. Use underscores (_) not spaces: Spaces can cause problems on computers
2. Keep it short but descriptive: You should know what it is just from the name
3. Use consistent numbering: Always use 4 digits (0001, 0002) so files sort correctly
4. Include the date for build photos: Helps track your progress over time
5. Never delete originals until backed up: Always keep a copy somewhere safe
