Hi Jessica --

For our digitized material we distinguish between the object and the associated 
images.  In your diary example, we would consider the object to be the diary, 
and it would have ten associated images.  Or another example: if we have four 
digital images (front, back, top, bottom) of a piece of sculpture, the object is 
the sculpture and it has four associated images.

If you want to title each image, in addition to titling the object, then I would 
title the images with whatever makes sense -- "Page 1" or "Top view" or whatever.

As for how this would be encoded in EAD, you could use a <daogrp> with as many 
<dao>s as you need for the associated images.  For example:

<c02>
    <did>
       <unittitle>Yawning Tiger</unittitle>
       <origination>Anna Hyatt Huntington</origination>
       <abstract>bronze sculpture</abstract>
       <physdesc>
          <dimensions>5" high by 15-1/2" long by 4-1/2" wide</dimensions>
       </physdesc>
       <unitdate>1928</unitdate>
       <daogrp title="Yawning Tiger">
          <daoloc title="Top view" href="top.png"/>
          <daoloc title="Left view" href="left.png"/>
          <daoloc title="Right view" href="right.png"/>
       </daogrp>
    </did>
</c02>

<daogrp> can also contain a <daodesc> if you want more descriptive info within 
the dao structure, not just in the c0
