You will need to register for a gmail.com ID.

Open Google.com  

Upper right hand corner to SIGN IN.

Upper right hand should be a "checker board,"
between a bell and "Images."  Click it.

A bunch of icons will appear.  Click the
colorful pinwheel that says "Photos." Click it.

Upper right hand corner should have "UPLOAD" 
button.  Click that and select the file you want 
to share.  It should upload and appear on the
screen in a moment.  Sometimes can take a 
minute or two.  You might occasionally have
to reload to get it on the screen.

Once it is on the screen, click on it.  It should
appear with a black boarder.

Above, you will see something that looks like
a "side-wise" "V".  That is "Share.  Click.
(There's also a little pencil you can use to 
 do some edits and crops before you share).

A menu will drop down giving you sharing options.
A grey icon with a "chain" in it says "Get Link."
Copy the link presented and paste into you email.

Later, if you want to group your photo in an "album,"
you can use the "CREATE" button to do so.
Note that once you move a photo to an album, 
you'll need a new link for it or you can link 
the whole album.

You can decide to share photos and albums
or keep them private.

Hope this helps!
