What are the names of the directories? More specifically, do they start
with a "."?

~ % mkdir -p jpegs/.dir{1..5}
~ % cd jpegs
~/jpegs % for i ({1..5})
for> touch .dir$i/pic{1..3}.jpg
~/jpegs % find . -name '*.jpg'
./.dir1/pic1.jpg
./.dir1/pic2.jpg
./.dir1/pic3.jpg
./.dir2/pic1.jpg
./.dir2/pic2.jpg
./.dir2/pic3.jpg
./.dir3/pic1.jpg
./.dir3/pic2.jpg
./.dir3/pic3.jpg
./.dir4/pic1.jpg
./.dir4/pic2.jpg
./.dir4/pic3.jpg
./.dir5/pic1.jpg
./.dir5/pic2.jpg
./.dir5/pic3.jpg
~/jpegs % print -l **/*.jpg
zsh: no matches found: **/*.jpg
