There is no way around it, that is the point of the encryption.

Is there any chance you have a backup of the photos on your PC? Were the photos taken with the phone or taken with another camera and synced from that camera to your PC and then to your phone? If so the photos are still on the PC. If not, the only work around is to have backed up unencrypted, flashed the new ROM and then restored from the unencrypted SD card. HTC warns about encrypting data onto your SD card for just that reason. I generally do backups unencrypted and if I need certain sensitive data encrypted, I use Spb Wallet.
