It is surprising that a Jpeg is large. Most of my jpegs are under 1-2mb each. And if you use a program like Photoshop you can even shrink the size down even smaller.

My recommendation is to get the images you want to send, put them in a folder, and then put the folder in a compressed format (like .ZIP, .RAR etc..) and then send that as an attachment.

(compressing a document is less convenient for the receiver but with it you can send many many files, depending on the size limit of your email provider/size limit of the receiver.

If you are interested in creating a compressed archive (.zip/.rar) I am sure we can help with that... but it's kind of inconvenient.

A better way to send images would be to create an online photo album, where you will store your images, and then send a link to a friend via email. When they get the email they can then go to the album site and view your pictures.
