Why is MR.Echo's picture on the wall when we are intruduced to MILES background

This is my first post. It is kind of a post and a question. in the house where miles found the money in the register as he was going up the stairs Mr. Echo's picture as a boy was on the wall. Has anyone explained this before? What dead person was miles talking to? Was the future already altered and someone adopted Echo. I think that scene happens after the incident and time has been altered and echo is the spirit that miles talks to. Mr Echo dies in L.A. instead. at the same moment he died on the island. thanks

doesnt make sense either because she doesnt have an accent. i remember seeing this and wondering what the connection was. i could never find one. maybe they will adress this later on the show.

Sorry, guys, it's not Mr. Eko in the pictures on the wall going upstairs in Miles' client's house. We dissected those way back in S4 and through last summer. Someone even put the screencaps of the picture of young Eko and Yemi side-by-side with the stair way photos -- not the same kids.

Doesnt that old broad look like walts grandma.
Thats who I thought it was actually!

Here is my question about the same Miles episode. I thought that Miles' "gift" required a body to be present. WTF? There is no body in that drugdealer's house. Huh?

<<< true.The pic isn't Eko.We dissected that one.Personally I never a likeness, and i never saw any difference in the house when he came downstairs.

<<<<<<MILES: You actually see them?

HURLEY: Of course. Why wouldn't I?

MILES: Because that's not how it works.

HURLEY: Aha! You wouldn't know how it works unless you can do it.

MILES: What I can do has nothing to do with chatting with ghosts, you nitwit. It's a... feeling... a sense. When somebody's dead, their brain stops functioning, which means there's no more talking. There's just who they were and whatever they knew before they died<<<

I don't think the body needs to be there, just their spirit or aura.The bodies of the soldiers from the 50s would all be rotten underground I think, with only skeletons..but he heard them..my evidence is inconclusive..but probably right IMO...
