How to put my pictures from iPhone to PC?

I'm trying to put my pictures from my iPhone 5 to my windows 8 laptop. But when I plug my phone in, it doesn't show up in "my computer".It only shows up in iTunes. I appreciate any help that can be given!

Added (1). I have tried using the other ports and no luck.

Added (2). @jake the computer doesn't even recognize my iphone except in iTunes. I have tried that already but its just not there.

Have you tried plugging it in different ports?

Plug your phone into your computer. Click start on your PC, bottom left corner. Go to you personal folder (by clicking the name of your computer above "documents"). Towards the bottom, you should see your iPhone's USB name. Right-click and choose "import photos." From there, it should be self explanatory. Sorry if this doesn't help, as I don't have my computer in front of me.

Suggest you download "Dropbox" onto your phone and your computer. This should give you access by all equipment.
