advanced photo gallery creation with views and panels...(need help please!)

Hi,

I'd like to have some help for the setup I'd like to do on the project I'm working on. The project need a really good integration of pictures, and the client would like to have a page where:

On one side you have image teasers, and on the other side you have a preview view on the images. (sorta like frames).

So what he wants is that when you click on an image on the side, the image loads in the preview section of the same page.

Furthermore, the teaser that are displayed on the page, are the teasers of the pictures that are related to the original picture that was clicked on.

So what I understand about it now is:

1) I have to override node-image.tpl.php to display a custom page when a users clicks on a pic.
2) I probably need panels to insert two views on the same page

What I don,t understand is how I can relate the two views together. That is, when a user clicks on a image, the right side shows the image in preview side, and the left side loads teasers of images in the same taxonomy as the previewed image.

Question 1)

So the view for the left panel would be a teaser view... with the argument of taxonomy coming from where? I guess I could pass the TID in the URL of the panel itself??

Question 2) Lets say I can load teasers in the left side of the page, how can I create a view that will display a pic on the right side of the page when someone clicks a teaser on the left side of the page??

How to pass the NID to display from the teasers view to the preview view??

Ouff... well it seems like a complicated issue, I don,t kno if this is even possible in Drupal?

ANy advice would be really welcome, any if it's ideas or further questions :)

Thanks in advance,
