Need to get my pics off a galaxy s2x stuck on boot screen

AC Question

This morning my (now old) phone (Samsung galaxy s2x) displayed a large number of error messages, then finally would not turn on past the screen with the Samsung logo, it just stays there and keeps doing its animation. Anyway, I know have a new phone cause I wanted one anyway. However, I really want to get my pictures off of it. I don't want to make it work again, just get the pics on the computer. The pics are not on the SD card. When I connect the phone to the computer via USB, the PC does not recognize it, even then I go into computer. Something to do with bootloader maybe??? Please help me get my pictures.
