title: Associate Existing Image File with Django Model
body: <p>I'm creating a basic blog in Django. One of my classes is for the authors. Each contains Name, Position, Biography, etc., and I'm attempting to associate existing images with each author to be used as avatars, essentially.</p>
  
  <p>FileField and ImageField aren't what I want to use as I already have images stored statically elsewhere- I just want to specify each image's path manually in the Django admin as a URL (CharField/TextField, whatever) and have that image served when I call {{ author.photo }} in a template, for example. I also don't necessarily want to source the image path from the class model, as the structure and paths of the existing images may change. Any ideas?</p>
