There's a setting in iTunes to sync a folder on my computer with my camera, but it seems to be a one-way sync – when I take pictures on my phone, they don't go onto my computer.
Sometimes, when I connect my phone to my computer, it shows up in Windows Explorer. (But not always – I can't find a pattern. Probably some Apple component that crashes occasionally? This isn't really part of the question.) When it does, I can open it up, manually find the new photos I took, and copy them to my computer. But if I put them with my other photos on my computer (which all get synced to my phone) then I guess they'll be on there twice.
There's Photostream, but that streams every picture I take. I usually take several pictures of the same thing and immediately delete all but the best, but the bad/blurry ones that I delete get streamed too.
Is there any way to automatically have photos I take (and keep) on my phone be available to me on my computer?

If iTunes isn't running, and isn't set to start automatically when you plug in your phone, then you will see it in Explorer and will be able to import photos.
The import wizard, part of the AutoPlay settings in Control Panel, should be configured to run automatically when the phone is plugged in.
