Yes u can do it using file connection api but ur devcice must be MIDP 2.0.
But there are some midp 2.0 device which are not support jsr-75, if the device support u can read write image from device.
for reading here is the code:
InputConnection fileConn = null;
DataInputStream dis = null;
fileConn =(InputConnection)Connector.open(
file:///1.jpg,Connector.READ);
dis = fileConn.openDataInputStream();
now from this DataInputstream u can read image data.
For write first u create a blank image file then open it in write mode, nad place the data in output stream.
