Default winzip wont compress my pics.

i have used winzip before and im pretty sure its user error in this case but i cant figure it out. i zip some pictures, 35 to be exact, so i can e-mail them to my gf. they seem to zip fine but when i view the properties of the zip folder its the same size as the album that i zipped. so i opened back up in win zip and sure enough, they show 0% compression. i tried several compression methods and even tried the wizard yet still the files aren't compressed. any suggestions?

I think it has something to do with jpeg already being a compressed format and it just can't compress any more.
