Binary object storage in Cassandra

Hello
Is it possible to store binary objects (images, pdfs, videos etc) in
Cassandra. The size of my images are less than 100MB.

If so, how do I try inserting and retrieving a few files from cassandra ?
Would prefer if someone can give examples using pycassa.

Thanks !
AJ

Retrieval should be the same as the examples in the pycassa
tutorial<http://pycassa.github.com/pycassa/tutorial.html>
.
