Not surprising since your photos are not in the iPhotos folder. They are in your Users/Documents/Pictures folder as the iPhoto Library file, which is actually a folder.

How much free space to you have on your hard drive?

try rebooting your Mac - the display you are looking at is not a great way to find space - there is a program called Grand Perspective that can be very helpful
