This all seems rather odd. I can ask my mate to upload my picture for
my article (if I had one) but I can not do it myself. Duh.
By "my
picture" I presume you mean one of you rather than by you. We had
some time back the case of a user who had himself photographed in front
of a major European tourist attraction. IIRC some people were claiming
that he should have gotten permission from the convenient passerby who
actually snapped the shot before he put the picture online. Since it
was a picture of him it was obvious that he did not take it himself. :-(
