Thank you, Nikki and Beatriz. Beatriz, I couldn't figure out why you hadn't read the description that I wrote up under the image. Then I realized it wasn't there. Guess I didn't click "Submit". I've just corrected it and thank you for noticing the lack of identification. #10019556

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed.
