If the phone is rooted and you have DiskDigger undelete (root) installed, yes. If not, rooting and installing Disk Digger will probably damage a couple of the pictures you want to recover, but you'll recover the rest. (Unless you have to flash a ROM to get root - in which case you'll make sure the pictures are uunrecoverable.)

You can't undelete without root in Linux.

(In the future, keep everything backed up - see Backing up an Android Device.)
