I know in Rails 2.3.5 there's an easier way to do this, but I cheated a 
bit an used attribute_fu because of this cool helper method.

<% form_for :analysis, @analysis, :url => analysis_path, :html => { 
:multipart => true } do |analysis_form| %>
<%= analysis_form.render_associated_form(@analysis.photos, :new => 4) %>
<%= analysis_form.submit('Submit') %>


Then you just add a partial called _photo.html.erb inside your analysis 
view folder, and throw in

<%= analysis_form.label(:image) %>
<%= analysis_form.file_field(:image) %>

In your model you would put

class Analysis < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :photos, :attributes => true
end


Hope that helps.
