## 🟡 ASSESS INDIVIDUALLY (Need Your Input)

### Photography (2025) vs (2024)
- Some 2024 content duplicated in 2025 folders
- Need to determine which shoots are "done" vs still being edited

### Finals Folder (Videography/2025/Finals/)
- Could be completed projects ready for archive
- Need to check if these are truly "final" versions

## 🟢 LIKELY ARCHIVE CANDIDATES

### Photography (2024)
- Completed photo shoots from last year
- Edits appear finalized

### Photography (2026) 
- Likely mislabeled content that should be in 2025

## Questions for You:

1. **SamVision**: Is this project still active or can it be archived?
2. **PROJECT COREX**: Still working on this or completed?
3. **LOWERSELF PROJECTS**: Active music project or done?
4. **Photography duplicates**: Do you want to keep raw files (.CR3) on storage and archive edited versions (.jpg)?

Should I dive deeper into any specific folder to help you decide?
