How do I stop Dropbox from Pulling Images from My uploaded files and displaying them?

Any and all images from those files are also now showing in the 'Photos' area.
The Photos page is a special page that shows all of the images throughout your entire Dropbox account. There's no way to disable this or exclude folders from being included.

There are so many ways in which your design is pitifully bad.
It's a collection of * Images *. Calling it "Photos" is plain wrong. It makes me at least feel sick looking at all my photos mixed up with all the documents I've ever scanned; all the pieces of artwork I've worked on designing; all the faxes I've sent & received; all the artworks I've been involved in working with; all the most attractive vulvae I've had the privilege to capture. It's a collection that makes no sense whatsoever.
You let me view it, oh yes, by year, by month or by day. And that's it. No indication whatever of what I'm looking at. My actual files? Copies of my files? Some sort of virtualisation? You offer no way to view by location. Because you just built a half-assed feature without thinking it through.
