How to I go about making one? I need it to be one where users can submit their own photos. Any ideas?

I'm assuming I need to install a module, but I'm not sure how to do it.

You can either use Image (http://drupal.org/project/image) or if you have an old installation of Drupal, use Gallery (http://drupal.org/project/gallery).

Image lets you create image galleries and you can assign permission to different user groups for submitting pictures.

Download the module you want and read the README and INSTALL files.

Also, if you have the spair time to get good at php, consider writing a full-featured gallery module for other people to use.

A great photo gallery is Coppermine. It is free software with a number of themes built in. If you only need a photo gallery, I would highly recommend Coppermine.

yeah... but it's not a way to enable a photo album in Drupal.

I thinks coppermine is great too. If I could I would work on a port for it, but I can't (yet).
If it's not the way to go, its worth the study.

There are some posible approaches being worked on for 4.6 involving the folksonomy module, a new album moudle and the next generation image module (which quite simply rocks).

I eagerly await 4.6 ...

Bulk uploads are important if you want to encourage mass adoption of photoblogging in a community. Web-based forms, one image at a time, suck.

I like Gallery Remote (a Java applet), but it pushes one item at a time, waits for ImageMagick to resize/store, then proceeds. Uploading 60-70 images can take an hour or so.

Gallery has an "experimental" support for webdav that is worth looking into. You download/install a registry patch (Windows only) that adds an entry for your Gallery in the Windows XP "publish this to the Web" wizard.

JUpload (http://jupload.biz/) is blazing fast. http://spotted.augustachronicle.com/ uses it, and batches the uploads through Imagemagick in the background.
