I have a screenshot of my iPhone which shows that it was taken at 11:42 a.m.
When I look at the file in Finder, it shows that it was taken at 11:42 a.m.
on Feb 11
You can see a screenshot here:

When I use `mdls -raw -name kMDItemContentCreationDate test.png` (a Mac
command to get the Creation Date), I get
2015-02-11 16:42:30 +0000
as the answer. This is, I believe, UTC. So I need to convert that to local
(US/Eastern) time.
I'm not sure how to do that, so heres what I did
1) Load the appropriate module
> zmodload zsh/datetime
2) get the Unix EPOCH time from the date/time stamp we have:
> strftime -r "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S +0000" "2015-02-11 16:42:30 +0000"
1423690950
3) Convert '1423690950' to US/Eastern time:
> strftime "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" "1423690950"
2015-02-11 16:42:30
But that's still giving me '16' as the hour. It should be 11, shouldn't it?
4) Try again, this time making sure that I define the time zone:
> TZ=US/Eastern strftime "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" "1423690950"
2015-02-11 16:42:30
Same time.
OK, so I'm obviously missing something. I checked '1423690950' on various
online "Unix time" converters and they confirm that it's 16:42 my time, but
since I know the picture was taken at 11:42, I'm wondering what I did wrong.
