find(1) is usually nice. One thing you may want to be careful about
with find in a for loop is that filenames with whitespace are probably
going to end up in a huge mess. It may be better to use something like
the following:
find /multimedia -iname '*.jpg' | \
while read fname ;do
# Manipulate ${fname}
done
