There are two methods to earn with your own photos and images: by selling them on specialized websites or by publishing them on hosting websites.

For the sale (stock photography) there are some websites on which it is possible to upload your own photos by authorizing their right of use (the photos will remain of your property).
For each photo sold you will earn a sum that may vary from 0.25 cent to some euros (on some websites it is actually possible to choose the price).
The website is not dedicated only to professional photographers, but also to simple amateurs or to whoever has some nice digital photos, this opportunity may prove a good system to earn money while doing something you like.

To publish photos and images instead, you only have to upload them on specialized hosting websites and then advertise them on websites and forums (like you do with ImageShack for example).
This method will only pay you for each time your photo is viewed, but in this case the gain is a lot lower than the sale (25 cents for each 1000 views, more or less).
For now the only website reviews to earn money with photos is Share-a-pic.
