Theories about Desmond's photograph

Main Discussion

Theories may be removed if ...

Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc). More appropriate for another article. Illogical or previously disproven. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments. Responding to another theory (use discussion page instead). This does not include responses that can stand alone as its own theory. Usage of an indented bullet does not imply the statement is a response. See the Lostpedia theory policy for more details.

• The double/triple photo could be an incident similar to the one with Sayid's picture of Nadia. At the time the photo of Nadia was shown the actress playing her had not been cast so they used a stand in. Unlike with Desmonds photo the episodes in which the photo and character were seen were close enough for the photo scene to be reshot.
• Penny received the second photograph, but it was not shown by the camera (it may have occurred when when Desmond was looking at his photograph in "Flashes Before Your Eyes").
• Penny and Desmond later had copies of the photo made, so that they could both have one.
