If you want some inspiration, my code for this is [micropython-examples/sdslideshow.py at master · kevinjwalters/micropython-examples · GitHub](https://github.com/kevinjwalters/micropython-examples/blob/master/pico-w/sdslideshow.py)

One gotcha I found was on 5.7" I would get errors on early attempts to mount SD card.
