Is there such a thing? If so, what's it called and does it really work?
To provide a bit more detailed insight Wendy my dear, depending on which iPad you have and what Flash Drive you have, you could purchase the Camera Connection Kit that basically grants the iPad with a USB port. This works sometimes, however it is a variable that has to be tested to confirm a working status.

You can tell which you have by the size. The 30 pin is large, over an inch long. Lightning is less than a half inch wide.
However my dear, your best bet guaranteeing you success in your adventure would be to transfer those photos to a new, iPad friendly flash drive.
Such as this Sandisk Connect Wireless Flash Drive.
http://www.sandisk.com/pr...ash-drive/This drive can securely store and backup your photos, and you charge it via a USB port on a computer (Or if you do not own a PC and only the iPad, you can charge via a wall adapter).
Those are some options for you Wendy, feel free to ask in detail of me and I am happy to help.
