Time Traveler Captured In Museum Photograph
    #12411199 -

I hope the picture url works properly:



When you look at most of the two dozen or so people in this photograph, which belongs to a Canadian museum, there's no doubt that they're from 1940, the year in which it was taken. But what about that guy?

Those funky sunglasses? That stamped t-shirt and hippie shawl? The doofy, disinterested expression? He sure as hell doesn't look like any Roosevelt-era bro I have ever seen. Maybe that's just it—he looks like a "bro," which we all know didn't come into existence until the 1970s, at the earliest.

Forgetomori has an extensive analysis of the photo and the mystery man, and, with some help from members of ATS, points out that no single item of his wardrobe is technically out of period.

But his entire essence, especially in contrast to the sea of fedoras and 1940s enthusiasm around him, screams that he's from another era entirely. Sorry, time travel bro, you've been spotted.

considering that this article comes from a website that has an editorial about bananas being able to supply electricity to a lamp, I wouldn't jump to conclusions here...

This photograph was taken many years before people even had home computers let alone photoshop.

If someone can take me to this museum and show me the photograph personally I'll give it more consideration.

Besides, wouldn't a time traveler know that in the future he would be caught in this picture?

Time travelers can't get caught.

If that's the 50's, he could be a beatnik.

I wouldn't be surprised if the pic is real either.  But, he's a time traveler because he's a hipster in the 40s? lol

if it is a photoshop they did a good job.  the shadows on the guys face match the ones on the other people in the picture, meaning he's lit from the same direction, a dead giveaway usually on photoshop jobs.  also, the people are spaced out properly for a person to be standing there, thats not to say if this is a photoshop though that he's just covering the other person up.


notice what appears to be a modern looking camera in his hand?

I bet you time travel technology is at least 200 years away and they would have way more advanced cameras than the one he is holding, unless he picked up an antique to try and blend in
