Is there a way to allow followers to post an image in a Comment?

Hi!! I have created a blog about photography and would like my followers to be able to share their photos on the site. How can I accomplish this?
Thanks tons!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Provided your followers post URLs to images that are hosted by a server somewhere online into their comments, then you can approve and display them. http://en.support.wordpress.com/comments/embeds/
Note that you can create official blog users. You can invite others to be Authors and they can upload images into their own posts.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. I have also created a Menu that links to my FB page for people to post pictures on (that was my temporary fix :)). I wish Word press would allow people to upload a photo easily on the comments section without having to have a URL…
Enjoy the day and thanks again! -
I do not think you understand this. We cannot control who followers our public blogs and we cannot block or remove followers. And, here’s a reality check. The vast and overwhelming majority of all so-called information on the internet is spam. Over 80% of all so-called comments submitted to .wordpress.com blogs every day are spam. If followers could post images into comments then our blogs would be full of porno.

without having to have a URL
Also in order to display any image on any blog it has to be hosted on a web server somewhere online. Are you clear on that?

Yup! Got it. It made sense the first time. I understand the URL concept and I see your point about not having the ability to post pictures on a comment and the Spam issue. The only think I wasn’t aware of is not blocking followers on our blogs. I have mine set up that only the comments etc that I approve are posted on my blog. Then, once the person has been approved, they can post from that point on.
