What is it please and where is the code for it? Is it an iframe or JavaScript? Note the code restrictions here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

I searched the internet and found this:

Photocrati is a uniquely powerful
WordPress theme used by over 15,000
photographers and visual artists.

The only themes we can use on free hosted WordPress.com blogs are found here in your dashboard > Appearance > Themes and showcased here > http://wordpress.com/themes/

There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins or upload any third party themes or software. Those are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

There is no upgrade that you can purchase from WordPress.com that provides FTP access, the ability to install plugins, third party themes and software into free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

I bought this photocrati theme that claims it’s specifically designed for wordpress. I have a hosting site so I don’t need it to be free hosted on word press, and I just want to know how to install it.

I’m sorry to say you will have to either get a refund as you cannot use that on your free hosted WordPress.com blog like http://gingoldphotography.wordpress.com/

Or you will have to hire a web host and set up a WordPress.org install. Read about the differences here > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

You are posting to the wrong support forum. We provide support only for free hosted WordPress.com blogs here. Support for your website is provided on the WordPress.ORG support forums and they are here http://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.org, click that link and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the correct support forums for your software.
