Hey Mike, your code should be like this. Make sure your images are well into the /img folder. Also, debug your code for missing closing tags, quotation marks, etc...

        <ul id="gallery">
          <li>
            <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
              <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
              <p>Caption description.</p>
            </a>
          </li>
          <li>
            <a href="img/numbers-02.jpg">
              <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt="">
              <p>Caption description.</p>
            </a>
          </li>
          <li>
            <a href="img/numbers-06.jpg">
              <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt="">
              <p>Caption description.</p>
            </a>
          </li>

Hello MIke,

Without seeing your code I don't know if the problem is with the code or not but if your code is truly identical to the video, I would guess that the problem is where the linked file is on disk in relation to your source.

Make sure that your href element contains the correct name and location of the file you're trying to link to. Something as simple as a typo on the file name or not including a directory in the href will cause a 404 because it can't find the linked file.

I hope this helps.
