Batch upload and insert images into wordpress post. Why so difficult?

    I run a photography blog. All I want to do is batch upload and insert images into a post. Wordpress can do this, but the catch is that it inserts in a gallery format. All I want to do is post the images in wordpress one after the other. I don't want to use the gallery option.

    So here is my question. Am I missing something? This seems like such a simple feature that I can't believe it's not in there.

    Are there any plugins that do this? I haven't been able to find any.

    Where is a good place to start if I want to develop a plugin to do this? I'm a php developer, but I've never written any plugins for Wordpress.

    Yeah. That is my fall back solution, but I'd rather not have to. Some posts may have 15-20 images in them. I'm really looking for a way to cut as much time as possible out of the process. If that means having to develop my own plugin I'll do it. I'm just floored that they don't have this, and that there isn't a plugin for this already. Weird.
