Is This A Good Question/Topic?

You have no file extension on the file name. Provided your file path is correct, adding the extension should fix your problem.
Should be something like
<img src="../myimage.jpg" />

Where is the <head> section?? It is essential part of HTML-code! That piece of code would not pass validating. And I recommend to learn already from beginning to make valid code. That will help you so much in the future. It might feel indifferent to leave some parts from code, but everything even small tag is important!

Interestingly, the <head> element is not required to pass validation. The <title> element, however, is. According the the HTML specs, the <title> element should be inside a <head> element, but the W3C validator doesn't complain if it's just left in the <html> element.
So in theory, you are correct. There should be a <head> section with a <title> element in all HTML pages. But in practice you could just put a <title> element instead and leave out the <head>. (Not that I'd recommend it.)
By the way, if we are going to be going into validation mistakes. The <img> tag requires an "alt" attribute.
