Suggestion: programmatically change the filename of the image in your
HTML. Are you generating pages on the fly? Add a timestamp to both the
<img src="" .. and the same to the filename on the server.

<img src="mypic200801251408.jpg" alt="..." height="..." width="...">

Not the easiest thing in the world to do, but it will definitely
override the cache. :-)
