  Create an album and upload photos. On the left side of the screen is a button that reads "Photos." Clicking it will open a screen that shows pictures recently uploaded by your friends (if it is not a new account). On top of the screen you will see side-by-side gray buttons that read "Upload Photos" and "Upload Videos"--select "Upload Photos." The next screen will prompt you to create an album title and, if you choose, add description and location. Also, you will be able to decide who will be able to view your new album. Press "Create Album" and then on the next screen, "Select Photos." This will open a finder window. Select your photos, then click "Upload Photos."
