So /me/albums returns an array of Album objects, each of which has an id.

If an album had an id of 99394368305, you can go to

https://graph.facebook.com/99394368305/photos

to get an array of photo objects.

Each of these will have the picture and source properties to get the image data from facebook.

They will all have an images array as well if you want pre-scaled images instead of just the originals.

All the facebook queries give JSON back - I'm assuming that you know how to parse this?
