Are there any image gallery modules that will allow me to setup an image gallery like the one at http://michaelsomerville.com/photos.php

I would like to have the thumbnails on the side and the main image on the same page.

I have tried the "image" module but that opened up the image on a different page.

Thanks.

I am realtively new to drupal as well, but depending on how many photos you want to add, there are lots of options. There is the flash module for small galleries http://drupal.org/project/flash_gallery or you could use lightbox or greybox to have a list of thumbnails and a "pop up" with the larger image. You could also look at the gallery2 module http://drupal.org/project/gallery if you want something a lot larger. There are actually tons of different ways to do this with drupal.

I think you could also just use views to create some blocks and have that are displayed only on your photo pages (also created via views.) Then you click an image it takes you to that larger image with that block of images still visible.

I would look to see a) how many photos and b) your skills customizing things.

You could use the image module and use the views module to create a block view of all image nodes with the same taxonomy as the node (using arguments) - then display that block on all image nodes.
