Time Traveler Captured In Museum Photograph?

this is a bad fake the guy behind him is the one holding the camera and the way the shade on his face is at a differnt angle than any other person in the picture

this was fun

Its a trick put there by God. Just like when they find bones of dinosaurs and people older than 6,000 years. God knows that those who believe in evolution will try any trick in the book to get good honest people to double Creationism, so he devised this plan of planting fakes. Hurricanes, tidal waves, earthquakes, famine, wars he has no time for, planting fakes he does. If you listened to Mooseburger Palen more you would understand how it all works.

Looks like an early Beatnik to me.

Does someone know what kind of sweatshirt he has? I really want it

and my question is this: Where did he park the Delorean?

Also that man in the bottom right hand corner looks really creepy...I'm just saying :)

Are they just now finding this? Why didn't they discover this like a while ago?

Looks photoshopped to me.

for real, this is odd and captivating. nice find.

don't you think if he were a time traveler that by now he would have traveled back in time and told himself to get out of the way of the photographer?

It's the 12th Doctor! Move over Matt Smith.

why is everyone pissed this is in the news section. Damn lighten the hell up

OMFG IT'S A TIME-TRAVELING HIPSTER

...bottom middle...anorexic finger...so there!!!!!!!!!!!!

How is this in the News section? Are you serious with this?

It's Indrid Cold!

He stands out only because he's the only young person in the photo., and his sunglasses and haircut his are old fashion . I see nothing modern about this photo at all.

Check again and see for yourself.

A lot of noise about nothing. Vote this down in a hurry.

I'm sure stoners existed in the 40's too. Weed wasn't invented in 1965 ya know.

If you look at enough old pics you see this sort of thing all the time. It just comes down to the viewer having incorrect expectations and being a little ignorant.
The detailed photoshop commentary is a huge laugh. I work with that for a living every day and none of those things mentioned are obvious "tell-tales" in this pic at all.

Mr. Time Traveler needs to come to the present and show me where I can find shades like his.

I love that we WANT to believe in time travel. (I just finished doing the sound work on Hot Tub Time Machine so it's still fresh in my mind) And what is it about time travel we gravitate to? I think it's the chance to go back and change things, change ourselves, not to make the same choices or same mistakes - to influence our future in a different way - to learn from whatever path we didn't take - what would happen if we took the left turn instead of the right? Whether this is a fake or not, it gives us a chance to project ourselves into that big question. What would we change if we could?

What does the M on his shirt stand for has to be a logo for something? his sweater looks like a hoodie but it's not

take this out of the News group.

actually those glasses are for people with light sensitivity, and he's just urbanly unkempt compared to the other bystandards.

Pot was around in the '40s too ya know.

i'm certain it's not photoshopped. and as someone with extensive knowledge of 20th century garments and "accessories", I can with near certainly state that nothing that dude is wearing is out of era... the glasses, both sweaters and the camera (from what is visible anyway) he's holding all say 1940's to me...

he's just a pot head.

Photoshop?
But, as is stated, what he's wearing is not actually out of period. Especially telling is that his hair style is EXACTLY in period.
The "sea of fedoras" remark is poetic but wrong. There are only a couple in view, some homburgs, ladies hats, ladies without hats and men without hats.
I'm sorry, but fashion from any period never conforms to a strict type. You'll have to look for smarter clues than this if you want to find a "time traveller". You know, like actual physics.

Yeah, there's too many botched alignments (note the hat of the gentleman immediately behind the subject: it looks like it's been moved without care for making it look realistic).

Furthermore, look at the subjects, esp. the guy in the far left of the pix leaning against the car: the guy next to him appears far too small (and looks like a young Henry Fonda).

So all in all, I'm calling a fakey-fakey, modern-day photoshop trickery. Give it some time, and somehow Palin will be dragged into this mess...

I would accept any theory that does not include time travel. I'm not ruling it out as plausible but come on! A civilization capable of breaking our known laws of physics has opted to send a hipster to our miserable plane of existence? Ok, but when they send him to 1940's Canada...I have some questions! Sorry, Canada. I still love you and your trees!

Just a beatnick ahead of his time. Groovy man

This does not debunk the existence of time travel even though it didn't prove it but hey, look at the time. My, my, my, where did the time go? It just flew by and I have got to leave! Later.

I do a little Photoshopping and if you look on the back portion of his neck it seems to be the only neck that is defined. The shadows on his face and bright areas look different than the others. The camera does seem to look as if there is a glass screen on the back, but there is a large knob on it the top left, so it could be a real time piece. I think his digitized look is slightly different than the others around him, he is a little crisper. He doesn't fit in at all though. I see this as an excellent segue into a sci-fi movie.

the sunglasses are an old style.

Isn't it interesting that this picture comes out right when the new season of Doctor Who is starting? Maybe he's a new companion!

FYI - Hung over hipsters are eternal

I suspect he's a researcher from the future, investigating the earliest reports of flash mobs.
