I want my pictures stored locally on my device.
I just want my pictures locally. Updated to Monterey 12.6.8 and now most of my pictures are in some nonsense space.

Hi ElTucker,
You didn't mention where you are currently finding your photos, so we'll post this page in the Photos User Guide for macOS Monterey, so you can see where they should be.

How photos and videos are organized in Photos
In the Photos appon your Mac, you can easily browse your photos using the sidebar on the left side of the Photos window. Click an item in the sidebar to see photos organized in different ways.
• Library: Browse your photos and videos by when they were taken. See Browse your photos by days, months, or years.
• Memories: View collections of photos and videos automatically edited for you and set to music. See View Memories.
• People: Browse your photos by the people Photos identifies in them. See Find and identify photos of people.
• Places: Browse by the locations where the photos were taken. See View photos by location.
• Albums: View albums you created or shared. Some albums are automatically created to organize your photos by categories—for example, Media Types. See What are albums in Photos? and Create a Smart Album.
If you're still having issues, please provide some details on where you are seeing your photos.
Take care!
