Sorts photos into a directory hierarchy according to their timestamp.

PhotoSorter.py

# The script is for taking a  ton 
# of photos and placing them into 
# a structure like:
#
# - 2016
# 	- 01 January '16
# 	- 02 February '16
# 	- 03 March '16
# 	- ...
# - 2015
# 	- 01 January '15
# 	- 02 February '15
# 	- 03 March '15
# 	- ...
# - ...
#
# Note:
# - Images that fail will be printed to stdout (manually sort)
# - Doesn't handle videos
# - Sorted 10 gigs in 24 minutes
