The mockup looks very similar to the Lightbox functionality, and I think their implementation would do what you want. Nothing is visible to start, but when you roll over the left or right half of the image the previous or next text respectively fades in over the image. Clicking anywhere on the left or right half of the image (not just on the faded in links) will load the previous or next image respectively. Before I found Thickbox I was considering Lightbox in part for this feature, but Lightbox is unfortunately not very light. Effectively, this is the same as click=next on the right half of the image, and if you're going to put the buttons on the image anyway, why not make the whole image hot. My only comment is they should not be visible without being triggered in some way. Many like myself can't have anything over the image area all time.
I'll also add that I think the 'image 1 of xx' should remain as Klaus suggests, as well as the ability to add captions.
