Use photobucket.com or similar to upload your photos. Once they are there, you can use the [img] tags to put the image in your reply.

Here are a couple of very simple tutorials from their site that will help you out.

but be careful, if you post a pic that's wider than the browser window, it will make a scroll bar across the bottom of the page, and we won't be able to read any posts on the thread without scrolling (at least those of us who don't have our browsers set to automatically resize images won't). also really big ones are quite a nuisance to those folks still using dial up internet service, it can take a few minutes to load just one picture!
