How badly shred is it? Photos would be helpful; at the least, interesting.
It may be that you could repair the damage, with a bit of guidance, or send it to one of the expert repairers here on the board.
Once your photos are on a photo hosting site (such as Imgur.com; Postimage; Dropbox, etc.
Photobucket),
or on virtually any site, including this site's album such as eBay, Amazon, you-name-it, select the full sized image, then Control-click (Mac) or Right-click (Windows) on the image itself, then choose "copy image location" or similar words. Now paste that URL (the full web address, which should end in .jpg or .png) into the IMG box in the reply window of the thread you're posting to.
The site's album is also a good choice for displaying photos, and the same method works for obtaining the image's URL for copying into the IMG box.
There are other good illustrations and steps on how to post photos in the "Latest Discussions" box,
