How much experience in verilog do you have? You are in for a lot of pain... you will need to write a SD protocol handler (hint: use the SPI protocol, it is a lot easier), a filesystem controller, a picture file reader / decompressor and a LCD output controller. It is not exactly impossible, but extremely difficult without a CPU and some software (and not an enjoyable experience, I'm sure).
