Photo Pop-Up Window Help

Question

I have a kinda particular question about the way my photos are shown on my site. I am creating a site as an online art gallery and I want each picture to pop-up in it's own window. I have seen tdizzle's question and will try that, but my needs go a little further. Once the new window is open with a larger view of the picture, I want users to be able to click other thumbnails below so they may see other views of the art. The effect I am going for is something like what is here: http://yessy.com/art/paintings/?view=751320, but in a pop-up window without all of the sidebars, etc.
Please help, this is super important to me and I greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Despite the following suggestion being a "slideshow", it appears to fulfill some of your criteria and also provides a few extra features. Before clicking on the hyperlinked thumbnail below, note that mouse-over of the slideshow page will display many options — including a full-screen button at lower right. The viewer can pause the slideshow (button at lower left) and then click on the thumbnails in any order...

It's also possible to embed the slideshow into your web page via iWeb's +HTML Snippet+ window — see this article: _Flickr's slideshows get cinematic, viral_. Notice that the sample embedded slideshow there, once playing, also shows the full-screen button at lower right. And clicking it doesn't take you out from the current window/tab — it simply goes into full-screen mode (and hitting the Escape key exits that mode).
By the way, Flickr's maximum pixel size is 1024. You can submit larger, but they'll be compressed and resized by Flickr. See this FAQ.
