User Photos

When a user uploads a photo, it will show up on their profile page. When entering into the photo, the user can edit or even delete the photo through the association between Users and Photos.

Comments

Within a photo, a user can create and delete comments.

Creating an Album

When creating an album, joins associations are used to create an album with multiple photos by the same user.

Albums
