collage style image gallery

[stertopedojager]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a collage style thumbnail gallery for a photography project.
I want to sort of make a clickable collage gallery like the one you can make from picasa, but all the thumbnails should open as larger images. The trouble is getting all the images to fit, but not line up..

not sure if i'm explaining this so well, but here's an example:

I have about 100 images i need to arrange in collage like that one.

The easiest way I can think of is to create the collage in Photoshop and use the slice tool to slice them, then have photoshop export the CSS. Coding that by hand would take forever.
