BLOBS vs pathname

Hi All!
I have just been messing around with inserting image files into MySQL database and was after people's experiences and thoughts on whether they found it better to store images directly into the database, or rather just ftp the images up to the server and provide the path to the images in the database (or by any other method).

I was wondering about the overhead/performance requirements of storing BLOB's in the DB.
Also, can you easily update any image stored as a BLOB in the database.

CHEERS!!!!!!!!
Jim
