This way your application would have working directory of what you set and
it would find images subdir in it.

 
To ease maintenance I use to place such start scripts in the same directory as the application. Then the script can query for APP_HOME by itself and the location is not hardcoded. E.g.

APP_HOME=$(dirname $0)
cd $APP_HOME

Enjoy,
