People using Facebook really love sharing photos on Facebook. It is really easy and fun sharing photos on Facebook. Fun, because your friends can like and comment on your photos. You can tag your friends in your photos and similarly your friends can tag you in their photos. And every photo you add or you are tagged in appears on your profile/timeline until you remove them.
One very advantageous thing of uploading pics is that even if you lose them by any chance, you can get them back from your profile.
You can share a single photo as you share a status or you can create a separate album and add pics to that. All the photos you share the way you share a status are automatically added to an album "Wall Photos" which is present on your profile.
How to add/upload photos?
If you wish to share a single pic, from your home page select "Add Photo/Video" and then select "Upload Photo/Video".
You can select any pic from your computer to upload and then post it.
To create an album, same thing, select "Add Photo/Video" then "Create Photo Album". After that you can select the pics you want to add to the new album you are about to create. To select multiple photos, just keep holding the "control" key and click on the pics. Finally upload.
There is one more way to add a photo. But only if you want to make it your profile pic. You can change the pic directly without adding it to any album. Just go to your profile/timeline, hover the mouse pointer over your profile pic and click on the tab that appears saying "Change picture" or "Edit profile photo". If you are using the old profile, it will take you to another page where you can add a new pic from your computer. For the timeline users you will get a drop-down menu from which you can select to add a new pic. Once you make a pic your profile pic, it is added to the album profile pics.

If you are uploading too many photos, you can wait until the whole album is uploaded. After you have uploaded the album completely, you will see a page where Facebook groups some similar looking faces in different photos. You just have to tag your friend once and all the photos grouped will be tagged.
