I need to know if :
A) adding a description below each photo is necessary?
B) adding tags to the posts are necessary?
C) adding keyword-rich alt descriptions, or a combination of some/all of them.

It sure helps, but don't beat yourself with it. Use wp picture seo plugins, for automatic tags.
A description is not that necessary, but tags are. Tags rule the interwebz.

I was wondering almost the same thing, will a picture page with tags only bring in the same amount of traffic as a picture page with only a short comment?
While I liked what I saw,
Shit doesn't fly. This is not a negotiation. Boob icon = fucking boobs.
You have been warned. ;x

You are comparing two separate things. Image tags make the image rank in the image search. Description, makes the page rank in the normal search, and just happens to have a picture on it. Not the same thing.
A keyword can be competitive on the normal results but not on the image results, as well as the other way around.
Stupid of me to not make it clear that I meant a blogpost with a pic and blog-tags only vs. a blogpost with a pic and a short description only, for ranking in normal search.
Ok. All of this is for the normal search:
Tags, unless your template shows them, are only shown by internal dynamic urls in e.g. yourblog.com/tag/blowjobs...
AND in blog aggregators like technorati. I always get a lot of traffic from doing right tagging. (I have mentioned in an older post that you can do tag research like you do keyword research to get the most out of blog aggregators)
If you do show the tags, it is simply a bunch of more keywords on your page, usual seo rules apply. Googlebot sees the keywords, and indexes accordingly.
As always, having more keywords in your page is best, so both tags (viewed on the template) and a short description are preferable.
To answer this exact question, the first is better. A description is usually full of fluff words and common phrases (regular expressions) that are ignored anyway.
A great trick is... Oh look! Boobies!

800+ boob pics. Yup. You guys are fucking crazy. Period.
Now, why do I feel so nice in here?
As I was saying, a great trick to get tons of traffic is... OH MY GAWD LOOK AT THOSE TWO LICKING!
