I store images in MySQL because:
1: I find it very easy to do...
2: No need to worry about the db being out of sync with the filesystem (a
filename in the db that points to a file/image that no longer exists, etc.)
3: Easy backups (they contain everything in one file)... AND the backups
zip up really tight for archival storage.
