Another way to get the information is to go to ${folder}/thumb
where ${folder} is the path to the actual images.
In that folder is the actual thumbnail files and a file called
.sizecache.  .sizecache contains one line for each thumbnail
in the format:

${realfilename} ${thumbfilename} ${width} ${height}

So it might be easier to just grab ${folder}/thumb/.sizecache
and parse that.

An example is this:

http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Ben/Test/thumb/

.sizecache:
1train19.jpg 1train19.jpg_thumb.jpg 128 96
block_control_sheme.gif block_control_sheme.gif_thumb.jpg 124 128

I still have no idea what he is trying to do.  When you
access a brickshelf folder it gives you an html page that contains
links to all of the thumbnail images.  You just have to extract them
from the html.  That would be trivial because the thumbnail images
are linked one per line and the format of those lines is always the same.
You even get the width and height of the thumbnail.

What more do you need?

If you don't have time to / don't want to do this, Kevin, no big deal. • I'll
just host the images myself.

writing a brickshelf specific script should be really easy, if you want it
to generate a listing of a folder - however, I'd ask kevin for permission
before launching such a script - it's considered impolite to run such
scripts without asking first...
