I would like to start a very basic social networking website. The features I would like a user to have would include:
-Creating an account which can be updated with basic information (Name, location, etc.)
-Creating event
-Being able to join or RSVP to events
-Being able to upload photos to user accounts.
I am familiar with HTML and some PHP, but not sure if I will be able to use Drupal. Could I?

absolutely. you just need to
absolutely. you just need to grab the event module.
Agreed
I agree, this would be quite simple to do. The built in profile module would probably be enough for your needs, although if the Bio or Nodeprofile modules would provide more advanced features if you decide you need something more. And as Treymondo said, the event module will allow easy creation of events, although I didn't know it handled RSVP-ing. If Event doesn't work, a friend of mine has been recently using the Signup module, and it might be able to help you out.
One word of caution. With the recent release of Drupal 6, many modules haven't been updated, so if you decide to use Drupal 6, make sure you can find the modules you want.
