    dir_path = os.path.join(args.directory, dir)
    if os.path.isdir(dir_path):
        for file in os.listdir(dir_path):
            if file.endswith(('.jpg', '.jpeg')):
                file_path = os.path.join(dir_path, file)
                exif_dict = load(file_path)
                date = exif_dict['0th'][306]
                new_dir = os.path.join(args.directory, date)
