Donald,
I think you could do it just fine with my program. Each 'item' could be a
trip. Each trip would have a series of images, showing in thumbnails.
Clicking the thumbnails would bring up the big picture. Trips could be put
into 'categories' -- Beach, Mountains, etc. You might want to download my
program and look at it:
