Another technique I've heard of is using the "long description" attribute in the img tag. I haven't personally tried it, yet, but my guess is that it will be beneficial, if not now, at some point in the near future.
I have 3 images indexed on google, 2 site images, and a homemade collage. I get more hits from a Google Images than all of the other SE's combined, with nearly 1600 hits in the month of December. I believe that for sites like mine, where images are the majority of the content, that optimizing the images is extremely important. Unfortunately, up until a few days ago, I was optimizing my images wrong. I was using the underscore(_) instead of the hyphen(-) as a word seperator. Once I get that fixed, I'd guess my images will begin to get indexed more by Google, and my hits from GI will at least double.
