I'm trying this out with a mongoengine backend, which does not use modelforms. wondering how, on image upload, to access the ImageWithThumbsFieldFile methods. I'm able to access the S3BotoStorage_AllPublic storage class, and get the image up to s3 calling _save on it:

```python
if request.FILES.get('image'):
file = request.FILES['image']
doc.image.storage._save(file.name, file)
```

thanks for the interesting project.
