In your pictures directory, create a file called .htaccess (notice the . in front of the name). Then, paste the following code in the file:

Options +Indexes

Either a basic list of files can be shown, or a 'fancy' list including icons, file size, modification date and more. Add this to your .htaccess file to use the 'fancy' style:

IndexOptions +FancyIndexing

Let's say you have a directory with .jpg, .gif and .png image files. You only want the .png files to show in the directory listings. Add this line to your .htaccess file:

IndexIgnore *.gif *.jpg

I'm sure there are other options, but these are some of the basics. For more info about .htaccess files, do a search on Google. Hope this helps.
