Whose Picture, What Frame, and Why?

The Original pictured carried by Mr Eko of himself and his brother Yemi

As a bit of fun, I thought I would address the infamous "Picture Controversy" from Season 4 Episode 2, Presumed Dead.

In the scene, Miles enters the house of woman who wishes her son to be put at rest. The picture on the wall, which is hung on by the camera twice, seems to be a message of sorts from writer to viewer. The picture has a striking resemblance to Mr Eko and what is found in "Eko's" room
just happenes to be a wad of cash and heroin...the product of choice for Mr Eko in his younger years. Another strange event is the frames all change from the time Miles enters the house to the time he finishes and walks back down the stairs.

Picture as Miles Enters Home
Same Picture as Miles Enters

Same Picture Once again...Except this is as Miles is leaving. Notice the frames have changed in every picture, though it appears the pictures are the same.

So - it requires some leaps, but the pictures themselves are so close to each other it is a convincing arguement that the boy grandma is worried about is Eko. Also, the way the camera holds position on the pictures leads the viewer to think there is some importance to the picture.
