Getting photos to my computer

I have a lot of pictures that were lost from my PowerBook but that are still on my iPod Photo. I have been asking friends and no one knows how to get it done, but I really need to get them back on to the laptop. There has got to be a way. It works with songs using iPodRip or the like. Also, whenever I connect the iPod to the computer many of the photos that it contains do not show up. They exist on the iPod Photo but don't when connected. Is there an explanation for this? Thanks for any advice.
