Contact photos showing up in gallery of photos

A search of threads did not reveal where my particular problem has ever been addressed. I have a Motorola Photon 4G on sprint. I sync my Outlook contacts via USB (no google sync) and all of my photos are with my contacts like they should be. However all of my contact photos also appear as pictures in my photo gallery. This is a pain the next since I have hundreds of contact photos and only a few DCIM photos.

To make matters worse, hundreds of images from widgets I have loaded (like the battery full image from a battery widget) also clog up my gallery. How do I get a gallery of just my photos and not these other images that are for specific purposes like contacts and widgets?
