You can always check if a USB device is connected - A USB Library to Detect USB Devices[^].
Once this is done, read the drive just like you would read any other drive.
Use directory operations, you can read through the directory structure( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303974[^]) and filter out the image files.

Try something like this:

C#

string usbRoot = @"H:\";
string destFolder = @"C:\CopiedTo";
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(usbRoot, "*.jpg", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
foreach (string file in files)
    {
    string dest = destFolder + file.Substring(usbRoot.Length);
    if (!Directory.Exists(Path.GetDirectoryName(dest)))
        {
        Directory.CreateDirectory(Path.GetDirectoryName(dest));
        }
    File.Copy(file, dest, true);
    }
