Can`t find static files in Django

I have macOS Sierra and I've modified my old Django-project ( project was created on a Linux system, maybe this invoked some bugs )

I have folder static and folder landing inside static

And when I run the server, this is printed out: GET /static/landing/img/397x300/03.jpg HTTP/1.1" 404 1691

this is my settings file with variable static - 

STATIC_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
    '/Users/milkiweed/Documents/python/django/psy_site/static'

UPD. When I trying to use python3 manage.py collectstatic i have a next problem :

You have requested to collect static files at the destination
location as specified in your settings.

This will overwrite existing files!
Are you sure you want to do this?

Type 'yes' to continue, or 'no' to cancel: yes

On your development (DEBUG=True) environment, you need two things in settings.py:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),)

That should be enough, assuming your static directory is in the BASE_DIR at the top level. If your static directory is somewhere else, adjust STATICFILES_DIRS accordingly.
