why not:

<a href="photos.asp?photothumbs1=1"><img 
src="images/piano.jpg" width="198" height="315" alt="" 
border="0"></a>

you don't need a form... just parse it out of the query string...

however, if you feel you need a form, replace the <img> tag with 
this:

<input type="image" src="images/piano.jpg" width="198" 
height="315" alt="" border="0">
