Two options:

1) When you "reply", there is an option below the text box for "Attach Files". Click on the "manage attachments" button, find your photo file(s), and upload them.
2) Set up an account on photobucket.com (it's free). Load your photo files there. Copy the links from photobucket into the text here. If you copy the "IMG code" link, the photo will appear directly in your post after you submit it, like this:
