I guess you're using Safari. Save As saves the current page as
html. Since the saved file is html, it will open with your default
browser (Safari). But Safari only saves the current page, and the
"current page" is just text encoded in html with links to the
graphics.

You can see this for yourself by opening the saved file. Then,
in Safari, look at the source code. That's View>View Source.
You'll see all the code, and you can also find the links to the
photos (Probably <img src=....>),

If you want to save the photos, using Safari, control-click on
each photo and "Download Image As …".

Other browsers, such as Netscape 7.1, give you the option to
save the page as Web Page, complete. This will download the page
and, as separate files, each image.
