That's easy.

#pictures = 1 followed by 1024 zeros

This is 1 followed by 944 zeros times as many atoms in the universe.

So the answers to your other questions:
1) Longer than the lifetime of the universe. You'd run out of energy before even getting started.
2) If you converted all the mass in the universe into hard disks, you aren't even getting close.
3) Hell yeah, it'd be easy.

You can then program it to be a little bit more intelligent by not generating rotated images, dividing the number of images by 4 (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°).
You can win another 4 factor by not generating symetric images (along vertical median, along horizontal median).
Ok, that's only 10^1024 / 16 = 6.25 * 10^1023, but it's a start.


EDIT: Oops, I s*** at math today, 10^1024 / 16 is 6.25 * 10^1022

And a lie.

Actually, one of my professors invented that. Google bought it from him (or from the university, not sure which).
