not a smart idea because google still needs a page to display as to the context of the image. Have you ever seen an image in google images that doesnt have a page displaying the image below it
a better idea is to have the pages nofollow but place a menu with each of the images linked directly from the gallery menu so google will use 1 page ( the menu ) to show users in google images, this is better for many reasons. A) the images will get spidered and listed B) the pages won't C) traffic from the images will be sent to the main gallery page not the individual pictures page .
