I never said it wouldn't work, but you need to consider the pros and cons of
such a design. If you've got to run a query for an image, then that query
is ran for *every* page load [i.e. no caching in the browser]. Increase
this by several images on a page and you'll start to get an idea. If your
images are very small, it's probably not a big deal...but for larger images,
the filesystem may prove faster.
