I would say that only if this is going to be a very small project should you think about storing the images in the db. I had a contract job for a real estate company that had stored all their images in the database. They had ~25K rows of data where each image was ~5K and their website was going down weekly. I had to rewrite the entire image upload/retrieval system for their site to change it to folder based storage. Just my thoughts...
