Yes...just create a new folder in your computer's My Pictures...call it "Synchfoto" or whatever.
Drop whatever photos you wish to synch in this folder.
When you synch iPad with iTunes, choose the photos drop down menu and select your new folder as the only folder you wish to synch with your iPad.
If you have any problems and your iPad is less than 90 days old, the apple help desk can guide you through it.
