Here's my question:

How can I have a visitor be re-directed to a certain page if/when they type in http://www.mysite.com/image.jpg (.gif, etc..)

I'm sure this is possible because I've seen it done before..

What is the use/purpose of this?

The purpose is to protect my images from being ripped and to prevent hot-linking.

use .htaccess

eg:
RewriteEngine On
ReWriteRule .*\.jpg$ http://www.errorpage.com [R,L]

read up about it and you will find some good info
