Well so does Andre Crump, the photographer who shot these gorgeous closeups of green-eyed people from all over the world. Unlike other eye colors, such as blue or brown, green eyes occur almost randomly among many ethnic groups and across generations. And this book celebrates them like no other we've seen. Blue eyes are actually due to the lack of brown pigment.
Green eyes are basically the result of any remaining brown pigment.
Dr. Morris's explanation is interesting, but the real magic is in the photographs. The book includes green eyes from Africa, Asia, India, Europe, and the Americas. All my life I have been literally stopped in shopping malls and on the street and asked, are they real or are they contact lenses. I have green eyes, my husband has green eyes, my daughter, who is part German and Japanese, also has green eyes. I love the attention my eyes give me, and I am proud to be a part of the 'unique' green-eyed population.
