You can't use -F and -d together, since they use different content types, and you need multipart/form-data. So try with:

https://graph.facebook.com/<id>/photos -F "[email protected]" -F "message=Me" -v

From man curl:

-F/--form

(HTTP) This lets curl emulate a filled-in form in which a user has pressed the submit button. This causes curl to POST data using the Content-Type multipart/form-data according to RFC2388. This enables uploading of binary files etc. To force the 'content' part to be a file, prefix the file name with an @ sign. To just get the content part from a file, prefix the file name with the symbol <. The difference between @ and < is then that @ makes a file get attached in the post as a file upload, while the < makes a text field and just get the contents for that text field from a file.
