i was thinking on the same lines before, and right now my code mimics
the behavior you mentioned. However, today i came across this corbola
timeline, which made me tweak my code again. So if there was a better
way to know which images to disregard, i could do a better structuring
of my code.

Thanks for such fast responses. really appreciate the comments. :)
