Photos on Apple TV

I am unable to view Photos from my Mac on my TV. I am able to listen to iTunes, but not view Photos. I have an older version of AppleTV; model MC572LL/A; software 6.2.1. Could this be the problem?

I think photos should work too on Apple TV (2nd generation), but photos is organized a bit differently on the Mac.
