Need to get files off a phone with a broken screen

Ok so here's the deal. GF destroyed the screen on her phone. It was cracked for a few weeks because she dropped it and then she dropped it again and totally killed the screen. She has a bunch of pictures and stuff she wants off of there. Everything is stored on the internal memory. There is NO SDCard in there (That would be way to easy)

I'm trying to pull everything off with ADB and need to know the path where everything is stored. Google isn't much help. It has about a billion different paths listed. Anyone know it or know how to do this?

I am not good with adb commands, and this may be wrong, but I tried this and got into my Gallery, I just couldn't pull anything.

adb shell
cd /mnt/sdcard/DCIM
