That will sign everything in a given directory, but won't recurse.
'ls -R' will recurse, but won't give you filenames in a usable format to pass
It will also attempt to sign everything in addition to the images

find . -name "*.jpeg" -print

is probably more along the lines of what you're looking for instead of ls above

for i in $(find . -name "*.jpeg" -print \;)
do
  gpg -b $i -o ${i}.sig
done

You may wish to use one of the --passphrase options,eg
'--passphrase-file <file>' or '--passphrase <string>', or temporarily remove the
passphrase from the signing key to spare yourself the 'joy' of typing the
passphrase potentially 100s of times.

Some reason you moved the thread to GnuPG-Users from PGP-Basics?
