[Javascript] Making images safe from downloading

I am developing a portfolio site for a photographer. He is anxious that his
images don't get downloaded and used without his permission.

I was thinking I could just put a blank layer over the image to deter
dragging or clicking on the image. However, we all know that the determined
person will just find out the source of the image and type the address in to
get the image. 

Another idea I had was placing images using SSI. Would something like that
work and deter someone from getting the image source?

Even so the image has to show up in order for there to be a portfolio.
Nothing would prevent a screen capture. Or would there?



Thanks,

Brian
