Randall,

Any object(a picture, an autoshape, a textbox) that is on a slide can
be be given an 'action setting' that reacts to a mouse click. This
action could be 'go to slide #'. When the user clicks the object the
action is performed.
To get to the actions settings, either choose it from the 'Slide Show'
menu or maybe the right-click 'shortcut menu'. You want "Mouse-click ->
Hyperlink to
-> slide... "

So, for example, put your thumbnails on slide 2, put your large images
on sequential slides. For each thumbnail: select it, and hyperlink to
the slide with the large image. You can polish things up by adding a
picture or shape to the slide master (that way all the slides get a
copy of it), the mouse-click action hyperlinks them to the thumbnail
slide.

For more information, look up "insert an action button" in the
Powerpoint Help, using the Answer Wizard tab.
