I am on 10.6.8, after trying Yosemite.  Now I can't access my iPhoto file

i am on 10.6.8, after trying Yosemite. Going back was troublesome.  I had to reload my apps from Snow Leopard disk.   Now I can't access my photos from iPhoto file. (iPhoto won't open.)   It says I must update.  The only available iPhoto is for Yosemite.

a suggestion for the future - do a bootable clone of your system prior to upgrading - then is is as simple as cloning back to your boot drive and you are instantly in business
Since you did not do this your choices are:
1 - restore your backup of the Photo library from before you upgraded (assuming hat you have reloaded the same version of the application that you had
2 - Use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  to downgrade your library - see section 10.4 o the IPLM help page - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/Help/table%20of%20contents.html
3 - start over with a new library and import your original photos from the Masters folder of your upgraded library
