A. K.’s photography page is one more proof that you can have valid XHTML+CSS and still miss one critical point of the web: making content easily accessible.

I was going to type a post about the pictures on this page, and link to some of them, when I realised that it was impossible. (”Can’t be done.”)

There are some pictures I love there because they give me some tingling feeling of vertigo, they are among the ones linked to the right, but that’s just how far I can tell you about their location.
And if A.K. redesigns or adds more pictures to the right, the directions I gave you won’t make any sense anymore.
Or I could tell you “the pictures are named X, Y, and Z”… if they had titles.

One solution in this case, if you like A. K.’s layout and want to emulate its look&feel while avoiding its shortcomings, is to create “fake” links using the onclick attribute instead of href.
You would have to devise a way to load the page with a picture in the querystring, and make that querystring the content of the href attribute. Then move the javascript to the onclick attribute, and make it return false when it’s done playing with layers.
That would give you direct links to the images while not altering the page’s behaviour. It would even make the pictures viewable to the javascript-impaired folks. Everybody would be happy, and I could blog that I like your pictures, if I indeed do.
