how to get pics from phone

the camera on this phone is totally useless. Can't get pictures off. Tells me to use icloud and photostream. B\ut icloud doesn't have any place for pics. Documentation is vwery poor. Wants to use terms like istream, icloud with no explanation what these are or thier purpose. I never been exposed to another industry that over promises but under delivers like the electronics industry. For this reason I very seldom purchase any new electroonics. Call Mac=no one is there. Guess I'll take the phone back.

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1
