When accessing and viewing iPhoto photos and pictures through finder on Mac OS X it can sometimes appear that your uploaded photos have disappeared or are missing.
Often times, users would like to upload photos and videos in their iPhoto library but when navigating to the iPhoto library in Finder, the application is either grayed out or does not lead anywhere when clicked.
Don’t worry! If you’ve correctly uploaded your photos and videos to iPhoto, they’re still there but the process of accessing them is a bit different than you probably expect.

Instead of accessing your home folder to start, you need to access the media section of Finder located on the bottom of the left sidebar.
