Have you looked at views? That can help for displaying images. You also might look at image field + imagecache.

I'm having some trouble getting a grasp on what to use when and where for images. There are so many modules available but from my explorations so far I can't figure out which one to use in which case. I've been spending a good amount of time searching through the forums, reading through HOW TOs, and downloading in installing some modules to test them out.
My question: Is there a good place that discusses various approaches to images in drupal in a clear way?
The image requirements for this site are fairly complex, so outlining all of them and asking how to do each one is probably not the best way - so I'm hoping there's already some good info out there somewhere that I've missed.
A list of the routes I've taken so far that seem to half solve some of the problems but definitely not all of them: Upload Image (plus Image Attach, Image Gallery, Image Import) IMCE Node Images
An example of half solving: random image only displays a thumbnail and it's random across all images. I can't imagine to whom that would be useful to be honest. What is useful is to randomly display an image at a specified size (or at least choose between thumbnail and full size), to select a directory to choose the images from and to have a straight forward way for an end user to upload, delete etc those images.
