Q: Where did my backed up pictures go

I backed up my iPhone with iTunes and when I go to photos I cannot find my pictures, my device appears while connected but not the pictures. Where did they go? I do not want to use iCloud.

MacBook Air, macOS Sierra (10.12)

To save your iPhone photos to your MacBook Air, connect the iPhone to a USB port and launch the Image Capture application. Now you can save the photos from your Camera Roll to a folder on your Mac.

Or launch the Photos.app and import the photos to Photos for Mac.

When you backup an iOS device to iTunes the photos in the Camera Roll album are included in the backup.
That backup is located here:
Locate backups of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple
However, you need a computer app to access data in the backup like:
