Best way to write, store and read images (lots of em)?

I am making a website at the moment that is almost certainly going to need a good way to store images it has member profiles that are viewable to anyone, there will be lots of images, lots of reads and lots of writes. It'll be nothing like the scale of facebook but even still I would like to implement a proper solution to the problem.

I have done some reading but they all are overkill.

So... should I just make an images/ directory with all the images in? Or should I store them in a db? Or should I use some other system?

Any direction is appreciated, thanks.
