Jetpack’s photon causes local site to try and serve images from WordPress CDN [closed]

The the end the solution was to turn on Jetpack in development mode which allowed me to turn photon/ site-accelerator off. My site had a period in the name http://mh.local, so it was necessary to add [const JETPACK_DEV_DEBUG = TRUE][1]; to my wp-config file before I could turn Jetpack on.
