Albums are about presentation while tags are about organization. This
separation should be made very clear. Don't mix them, ever, I don't
subscribe to the idea of having a one-to-many relation between albums
and photos, it's of course many-to-many. The underlying model of
albums and tags is virually the same (except for albums beeing
ordered).
