Adding a recovery email, in case of password loss, is a sensible precaution to take.
Creating your own access menu is also very sensible, because most of the many options available, are simply not relevant to scanned photos.
Out of the hundred menu options, you initially only need two or three... so we advise on how to create your own menu.
The tutorial will also introduce you to 'uploading your digitised photo images'
Go to 'account settings' - add a recovery email - add a link to 'Organise' on your 'browser bookmark toolbar', and download 'Uploadr'... then go to the tutorial Part 2. (Windows XP, iPhone, Android, and Apple users - read on)
Part 2. Uploading your photographs
Below, is an 11 minute video, that progresses slowly through the steps that you should take to configure your Flickr account.
If you open your Flickr account in another tab - you can click on the video to pause it, then make the changes to your Flickr account - then click on the video again, to continue with the tutorial.
Consider viewing the video 'full screen' by clicking the square brackets [ ] in the bottom right corner.

Note: For Windows XP, iPhone, Android, and Apple users: Links to download 'Uploadr' are below.
Windows XP users: See the extra 'tutorial for Windows XP users', on the next page.
The old XP Uploadr is still available, but was last updated in 2009 - the standard Flickr 'cloud uploader' is superior.
iPhone, Android, and Apple users: Uploadr may be offered directly from the 'camera-roll' page, as per the video... if not, the links to all versions of Uploader are listed below:
The Apple Uploadr should operate as per the Windows 7/8/10 version
The mobile phone versions will primarily relate to uploading mobile generated photos, therefore, although they will clearly be useful, they do not relate to scanned photographs, so are not examined.
