There will be a 'Photos and Art' section for art/sketches etc and for 'general-musings' there will be a tag and they can go in General Chat
Or did you mean something else?

As PK says below...

Photos can be uploaded to any thread (so long as you are at Trust Level 1 - 'new' members are at Trust Level 0 and can't do things like use the PM system or upload images
)

So, we won't have an album themed place on our profiles like now, but we will be able to post a thread & add pics to those as we want? Is that right?
I am glad we can post a photo more than once though, because often one pic can be used in another thread it's related to.
That's right Tiffany

Yup... and everyone can post more than one thread, so have dedicated threads for specific items

Technically they can (as they're just threads) but generally if you post a thread that says "Photos of my dogs" people usually don't add their dogs to the same thread, but post their own.

I think we should just wait and see and it will all become clear.
On previous 'editions' of sites we didn't have the things we have here now, photographs could only be accessed by linking to a 'host' site like Photobucket, then came the Albums and Attachments feature and we could link directly to photographs on our PCs making things much easier .
Each update offers new and easier features and we soon get used to them and forget the old ones.
What Meg said^^
There's give and take on each update that we've had - some things we lose but a lot of things we gain. I hope you'll all agree that the thing we gain far outweigh anything we might lost
