    Where do the photos come from, that you are seeing? And where are you seeing the imported photos?

    In a photo library? iPhoto? Aperture?

    Then the photos are probably streamed using Photo Stream.

    Have you enabled My Photo Stream in your iCloud settings on your computer?

    Or subscribed to a shared Photo stream?  If you do not want the Photo Stream to download to your computer disable it completely in System Preferences > iCloud > Photos or disable the Automatic Download in iPhoto's Preferences > iCloud > My Photo Stream.
