- Weak support because I'm slightly freaked out by his pale irises in this photograph. They seem darker in the other one in the article. I'll just assume that his irises were yellow, which seems to be a rare trait most often found in Middle Eastern people. Still, if I had confirmation of that, I'd be a happier chappy. Shoes...

- My guess is that the photographer opened up a large flap in the opposite wall of the tent in order to get enough sunlight into the space. That creates a large white reflection in the subject's eyes which wouldn't have been necessary under studio conditions. Durova Charge! 02:25, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- What is the naural color of irises in black and white (monochrome... B&W is old fashionned...) ? Great question ! In color photography irises are indeed red ! If not, what's the purpose of "red eyes removal" ? In real life I don't no they are any color they want IMO.

- FWIW, red-eye has nothing to do with color photography; it happens with poor flash usage when light from the flash is reflected back into the camera with a red hue from behind the pupil (never the irises). A similar effect (with overly bright pupils) would occur in black-and-white photography.

- This doesn't have the shape or location of a flash reflection, nor is it likely that large flash equipment would have been hauled through the Arabian desert in 1926. It's probably sunlight. And have a look at the remainder of his irises: he may have had blue eyes.

- Yeah, it almost certainly doesn't have anything to do with flash, given the lack of reflection and the fact that it's limited to the iris, not the pupil. Thegreenj 22:35, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
