Is it possible to create an xml file (rss) from a folder of images?

What I need: to create an xml file from a folder of images (either online or offline - doesn't matter). An RSS feed would be fine - although a one time import is what I'm planning on doing with the file.

Is this even possible?

I read I could use excel to sort of accomplish this - but I can't insert images into cells in excel.

What I'm trying to accomplish: I have a large number of images that need to be part of a wordpress site. Each image needs to be a separate post - and it's time consuming to do this one photo at a time.

I know I can use RSS feeds to accomplish this and can do it actually, using Picasa webalbum which has an RSS feature. I can create the xml file with that and import it - creating the posts. The only problem is that each photo, and comments, are a part of picasa and not the website. Clicking the photo to enlarge it, for example, links me to the picasa web album. So - that doesn't actually work.

I'm not very familiar with RSS / xml stuff - so any point in the right direction would be great.

Thanks!
