    Hello Mac4541,

     

    It sounds like you may have reinstalled OS X on your 2008 MacBook and iPhoto didn't get installed.

     

    Given the specifications of your unit, iPhoto may be on a separate install DVD.

     

    MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) - Technical Specifications

    (as an example, not quite sure of your model)

    What’s in the box

    • MacBook
    • Display cleaning cloth
    • 60W MagSafe Power Adapter, AC wall plug, and power cord
    • Lithium-polymer battery
    • Install/restore DVDs
    • Printed and electronic documentation

    Installed software

    • Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard (includes Time Machine, Quick Look, Spaces, Spotlight, Dashboard, Mail, iChat, Safari, Address Book, QuickTime, iCal, DVD Player, Photo Booth, Front Row, Xcode Developer Tools)
    • iLife ’08 (includes iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, GarageBand)

    Mac OS X 10.5.5 and later: Installing optional and bundled software - Apple Support

    • Disc 2 - "Applications Install DVD": Bootable disc that includes Apple Hardware Test, and lets you install other bundled software such as iLife

    Hope that's it.
