I would store the location of the images in the database.
This is because images like *.jpg are compressed with nice small file sizes designed for the internet but when stored in a database they are not compressed.
To see the difference save an image in *.jpg then resave as *.bmp as *.bmp files are not compressed
I have done this before for an internal network application and decided that it would be better to have a small database and image storage area then to have a large database
Plus it requires a large amount of code to convert the image into binary and back compared to just getting the location.
