Hi.

I don't think you need a pipe.

Code:
find / -iname "*lm*.jpg"

A couple of things that might bug you: find won't follow symbolic links by default; find will drill into filesystems you might wish it hadn't (such as a network filesystem or other, in-memory or special, filesystems). You can control all of that from options you will find in your find man page.
