Shutter/Lightbox/Thickbox gallery effect from Albums Gallery

Hello!

I am the designer and director of a website for a men’s shirt designer, and my programmer and I have setup the gallery using NextGen Gallery as follows:

We have each shirt as it’s own gallery, each ‘shirt gallery’ contains 4 larger images of the same shirt. These ‘shirt galleries’ are displayed in an paginated album called “Fall 2011 Gallery” – it contains all the shirts from that collection.

Now, when the user clicks on the thumbnail of a ‘shirt gallery’, we would like a Lightbox-like effect to launch from the album page and display the ‘shirt gallery’ that was clicked, and then be able to cycle through the 4 images from that gallery, one image up at a time.

We can only get it to show the clicked ‘shirt galleries’ on a separate page, with no back button to the album gallery.

check out the site under construction:

Is this possible? Any ideas? We’re stuck! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
