First you need an object

public class MyObject {
  public string Id {get;set;}
  public string Text {get;set;}
  ...
}

Then in here

    using (var twitpicResponse = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse()) {

        using (var reader = new StreamReader(twitpicResponse.GetResponseStream())) {
            JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
            var objText = reader.ReadToEnd();
            MyObject myojb = (MyObject)js.Deserialize(objText,typeof(MyObject));
        }

    }

I haven't tested with the hierarchical object you have, but this should give you access to the properties you want.

JavaScriptSerializer System.Web.Script.Serialization
