You can upload to the group during the upload photo process by typing in the name or after you upload your self-portrait to your photostream, hop on over to the link Terri gave you (or click on the highlighted blue "Flickr" in the post) and choose "Add Photos". Your Flickr stream will appear on the right and you click on the photo(s) you wish to add.
