  Just look into lazy loading. Google image search is doing it, as it Facebook now as far as I can tell. Basically all of your images on one page and you load them based on the user's scrolling and what's visible. There's a plugin available from jQuery that can help get you started: http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/lazyload http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/lazyload
