Issue in loading user uploaded images in Django

Question

My urls.py

urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Examples:
# url(r'^$', 'photo.views.home', name='home'),
# url(r'^photo/', include('photo.foo.urls')),

# Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
 url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
 url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),

)

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += patterns('django.views.static',
        (r'media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),
    )

Settings.py

MEDIA_ROOT = 'E:/photo/media'
MEDIA_URL = '/media'
STATIC_ROOT = ''
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/static/admin/'

When i try to access user uploaded images it gives me following error.

Using the URLconf defined in photo.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:

^admin/doc/
^admin/
media/(?P<path>.*)$

The current URL, images/about-landscapes-nature.jpg, didn't match any of these.

What am i doing wrong? User uploaded images are getting stored in photo\media\images

Following is the directory structure in my Win7

photo
    media
    photoapp
        models.py
    settings.py
    urls.py

I'm not sure if this'll fix all your problems, but MEDIA_URL needs a trailing slash, so it should be:

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
