title: Store images within a document in MongoDB without using GridFS
body: <p>Say I have a collection named Items. I'm trying to accomplish a document structure like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      "itemName": "Google Glass"
      "description": "Awesome Gadget"
      "*some_picture*": "*some_picture_object*"
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The images that I want to store won't exceed the 16MB cap on BSON documents so I don't want to use GridFS. How can I accomplish the structure above? I'm new to mongoDB and am pretty lost</p>
