The Picture of Ben that Miles had from season four

[Stuz1]

I do not have a screencap but that picture Miles showed Jack of Ben in season four looked eeriely similar to Ben the school teacher. In the picture he was definitely wearing a sweater and definitely appeared to be in some type of work place. At the time it provided evidence that Ben had left the Island at some point (which in season four was big news). But could it also be evidence that these time lines converge at some point or at least have some cross over. Since the picture most likely came from Widmore I am guessing anything is possible.

Here's the picture:

He does look a little professor-ish, hahah.

I think someone pointed out before that the computer monitor puts him there in the early 90s. His shirt looks like late 70s.

Obviously the monitor is not concrete evidence. He is also not wearing glasses in the old picture, for what that's worth?

IMHO I don't think it is the same, but when I saw him as a teacher, I wondered this too.

The picture matched Ben's outfit & look in The Economist when Ben has to fix Sayid after he gets shot by the German girl whose boss he needed to kill. She shot him before he killed her & the. He hobbled down a corridor & entered a room with computers & Ben chided him about thinking with his heart.

I thought he woul be dressed just like the picture, Maybe some other day someone will take his picture at the copier. Or maybe not, there may be no evil Widmore to send people to look for Ben on an island that's underwater at the same time it's being occupied by people, including one from the freighter that possibly was never sent? See how not confused I am?

I think Ben in the picture looks like the evil Ben we've come to know and love/hate.

Ben the teacher looks less sinister.

I think this is a good idea... we may have already seen the alt timelines bleed through and we didn't know it at the time... knowing Darlton it's a definite possibility for this...

It's not evidence because the producers had no idea that they were going to do parallel timelines at that point.

How do you know?

I think the bigger point for me is that Ben had all different passports...and what looked like lots of money from all different eras, possibly he could have been traveling to different times or different timelines?
