As a complete applescript idiot I would really appreciate it if someone
could clue me into a simple deletion script I can use for multiple photo
files on my hard drive: something like "find names xxxxx (where I can paste
the file names) and move to trash".

tell app "Finder" to move files in folder "d:f:" whose name contains "xxx" to the trash.

or

do shell script "cd ~/folder : rm nam*"

or you can use 'find' in the shell to get better matching.
