inserting filenames

I have a directory of files named such:

amalek-pages_01-Blot.png
amalek-pages_02-New.png
amalek-pages_03-Adipose.png
...

I need to create a series of HTML sections like such:

<section>
<img width="550" height="650"
src="pages/amalek-pages_01-Blot.png" alt="Blot">
</section>
<section>
<img width="550" height="650"
src="pages/amalek-pages_02-New.png" alt="Blot">
</section>
<section>
<img width="550" height="650"
src="pages/amalek-pages_03-Adipose.png" alt="Blot">
</section>
...

Tab completion on filenames helps, but with 55 images I have to
navigate through the list further and further for each section...and I
don't see a good way to jump directly to a particular entry in the
completion list (if I could, problem solved: I could just start the
completion and type "15" or "16" etc).

Where do I start automating something like this with Vim?
