I don't see any difference in the behavior of read-file-name when DIR is
an absolute vs. relative path. If I type RET at the prompt, both of
these forms return DIR:
(read-file-name "Image File: " "images")
(read-file-name "Image File: " "/images")
P.S. You probably want to use "images/" as DIR anyway -- see
file-name-as-directory.
