I need an image gallery module that will allow users to upload their own photos and galleries. Can someone point me in the right direction toward a good gallery module? Thanks in advance!

start with the image.module, which includes an image_gallery.module
or build one using:
CCK to build the content type
imagefield to add the ability to upload an image
views to create lists of those images.
There are other options available as well the the downloads area, but I stick to the two above depending on whether I have a need for images as nodes (image.module) or whether I don't (CCK). With Drupal 6.x and views 2, I find I am having less and less or a reason to use images as nodes.

Also, can you provide a direct link to the image module you mentioned? I did a search on image_gallery.module and several different results came up. I want to be sure I have the right one. Thanks.

As for full gallery modules, look for Acidfree and Node Gallery.

As stated, the image_gallery.module is part of the image.module. ie: comes bundled with.
as far as an advantage to having images as nodes, with the rewrite of views.module for Drupal 6. I, personally, no longer know of an advantage, hence why I've gotten away from it. Previous to the rewrite of views.module, the only way views could pull information out of the database was through the node table, hence why everything had to be nodes to be used with views. ie: Images, Users so on so forth. With the release of the rewrite of views.module for Drupal 6.x this is no longer the case.
I disagree with using Acidfree on a production site as it hasn't been touched (nothing added to CVS) since Dec of 2008 and does not currently provide a stable release for Drupal 6.x. Using this module can paint you into a corner later on down the road unless you have the skill set to work your way out of that corner. ie: Upgrading to Drupal 7.x or wanting to get away from Acidfree and implement a different method.
I also find the lack of
I also find the lack of updates to Acidfree to be an issue too, but I'm hoping that someone will take over the project... I am just keeping an eye on it right now.

I've installed and configured the image module. How do I set it up so that an authenticated user can create their own album and submit photos?

for each user to have separate galleries on your site you will have to investigate a different method. Image.module is for an entire site. It was not clear to me that you wanted a separate gallery for every user
in future when given multiple modules, ensure you test each one on a test site to ensure you find the one with the feature set you seek. That said you will have to investigate the node gallery.module or the cck gallery module or the imce module. have a browse through the search linked below.

good luck
Please clarify what you mean

I need to allow authenticated users to create galleries for all users to see on the site.
with image module, if a user
with image module, if a user can post pics in one gallery, they can in any gallery even if created by another user. I think. Not sure since I have not tried that yet.
the Node Gallery module allows each user to have a separate gallery to post in.

Can someone confirm that this is the case with the gallery modules?
Thanks.

images can be organized like any other content type, with taxonomy. That said, you can create finer grained permissions using a taxonomy access module.
