As a Dreamwidth user you get a small amount of photo storage (500mb for free accounts) that you can use to post images to Dreamwidth.
The How to FAQ is here

You can't use those photos to display on any other website, e.g. cover art at AO3, but if you're just sharing things to your journal that's a good place to start.

For more storage and the ability to share those uploaded images elsewhere you need an account with another provide like Imgur.

I currently use cloudinary for most image hosting, have been doing so since the Photobucket debacle. People also use workarounds like uploading to Pinterest but that's less reliable and ~technically against Pinterest's rules (What is Hotlinking

Once the image is uploaded somewhere accessible you use the IMG URL = and the address, the same way the Dreamwidth FAQ explains it.

I'd love to see photos if you share them :)
