If its real, the guy was just a bit odd about Mighty Mouse or something... And maybe was just ahead of his time. But a Time Traveler without a conspicuous phone box in the background, (Or Delorean) please...

Hmmm. There area number of posibilities that could have led to this:

1) Photoshop. Just saying. It could be a really professionally done job.

2) It was a staged photo (for a book cover or something, I don't know) taken a few years ago, and a guy, not knowing what was going on, stumbled into the picture.

3) He was someone from the time with an odd fashion sense.

4) He's a time traveler.

Hey, they're all possible.
I only have a problem with 4) He's a time traveler. One would think that the use of Time Travel would be seen a bit more often. Or at least he would've had the sense to steal the photo and negatives when he got home and saw himself tagged in future facebook as that Guy. And of course I'm with Hawking, we haven't seen any evidence of Time Travel yet...

Yeah, I had the same idea. He's not exactly wearing rings ('cause you know... they are uncool in the future) or an exo-skeletton with railguns.
Not to forget, if I'd travel back in time I'd try to blend in with the crowd, not wear a "I'm a time traveller (Shhhhhhhh)"-shirt.
really? I'd totally wear that. actually, I'm going to start going to tons of public events dressed strangly wearing that shirt. people from the distant future will totally freak out...
... because you are totally photoshoped. I don't think that'll ever change. But have fun with your controversy anyway.
ah good point good point. damn photoshop...still, you're right, I can't let it ruin ALL of my fun

further proof people will just believe whatever they want, and since people seem to love drama and scandal, things like this will constantly make the rounds on forums and in my spam folder of my e-mail.

It's pretty obvious what happened here. A weeping angel touched him and he got moved to a differnt time. This is the part where he finally got used to living in 40's.

The Shadows look a bit off in the close up. Seriously, look, it appears he's being lit from behind and yet everyone is being lit from the sides.

Calumon: Can I go back and stop Microsoft from taking over the world?

Perhaps a modern civilian found himself in the throngs of rich snobby old folk praising the opening of their bridge so they can pass easier to and fro their one-minded lives, therefor seeming "out of place."

Ho hum.

People should learn to read the thread before they post. The photo is real, the story behind it isn't. For the love of god.

They could be goggles, suggesting he could be a engineer, like maybe one people would hire to fix a brigde.

Link to original Article: http://www.unexplainable.net/Simply-Unexplainable/Is-This-a-Time-Traveller.shtml

The above photograph has been seen circulating through internet forums, and even enjoyed some limited news coverage. But who is this mysterious figure wearing modern clothes and paying close attention to an event taking place somewhere off camera? The photograph has caused several to speculate that the man depicted may be a time traveler caught unaware at an event that bears no historical significance.

The story idea is certainly an intriguing one. A time traveler is depicted in a photograph performing a task that turns out in our world to be completely mundane, but in the world he came from that event may have been significant in some way until he made some simple change. How many photographs are there of the night Hitler was born? And had he not gone on to cause the worst war in the history of the world, would this event have even been remembered? In other words, if a time traveler had stopped Hitler at a young age, history would have never remembered the event as anything more than an untimely death among millions of others. So where is the photograph from? And is it digitally altered?


In November of 1940 in the town of South Fork, there was a flood that closed the South Fork Bridge cutting off traffic from the town for a number of days and isolating the community. When the dedication ceremony allowed the residents of South Fork to use the bridge once again a crowd formed to celebrate the event. And among them was a tall unshaven mysterious man, walking unnoticed through the crowd. He carried in his hands an unusually small camera and beneath a wool lined coat he wore a T-shirt with a simple letter M on it. The only known record of his presence in the town of South Fork is a single photograph of the crowd as they watched the ribbon cutting of the bridge in anticipation.



Experts looking over the photograph have determined that the subject is not digitally inserted. And the photo has been under the ownership of one of the members of the virtual museum of Canada since 2002, and has been in the public eye since 2004 when it first started making the paranormal circuit. The man is the very picture of stereotypical "incognito while time traveling." Many observers have noted the size and shape of the man's camera declaring it to be more akin to a modern SLR camera, rather than the billows cameras of the 1940's. Looking over camera models of the 1940's however, I found a close resemblance between the camera the time man is holding and the Ansco Pioneer which was available in 1947. Of course the photograph was taken in 1941, making this exact model unlikely.

And of course there are the myriad problems with conventional time travel as it has been understood by the general public. If the time traveler were to go back in time, would he create a paradox by inadvertently preventing his own birth? Conventional wisdom says yes, but quantum theory suggests it may not be that simple. A time traveler in a multi-verse scenario would create a new universe just by integrating his own form into his own past. And of course it would be impossible to return to his point of origin, as an infinite number of universes are created each millisecond. So there is never paradox, because any one universe exists only for the blink of an eye before diverging and branching off in every imaginable direction.

But what happened to the man in dark sunglasses? And who was he?
Oh wow I thought I was busted then.....err i mean i read somewhere that all those clothes existed during that period and he was just a cool guy!

Gentlemen I have been hired by several of the world's governments and investigate agencies in order to determine whether or not photographs have been electronically tampered with.
As I found this case interesting I decided to utilise several of my advanced pixel decoderizing and photon multensifier apparatus to analyse this sample and determine its origins and whether or not certain nefarious individuals or groups have attempted to manipulate it to further their own ends.
I have discovered that it has indeed been tampered with, although not who by (communists? I will be passing it on to my contacts in military intelligence forthwith).
However, I hypothesise that the culprit may indeed be my old nemesi, Agent Stoltz and Professor Bauer, ex-Nazis who used gibbon DNA to extend their lifespan and delay the onset of aging. I cannot at this moment ascertain their motive for doing so, although no doubt they are in some way attempting to gain revenge upon myself for foiling their plan to use Somaliland's sand reserves to mount a terrorist blinding and eye-irritating attack upon the world's financial centres in Thermidor of 2003.
I shall investigate their old haunts forthwith, as help from the NSA, Mossad, M16, CIA et al will no doubt be forthcoming expediently.

even if there WAS a time traveler, i'm sure he would have done something a little more exciting than attend a bridge opening.
I don't know, if you have the luxury of time travel and it's nothing expensive... maybe he was checking out an event in his hometown, back in the day? :D

Maybe if you wear a sign saying "don't mind me, I'm only added in here by a lonely guy with a cracked key for photoshop to make it mysterious"?
I know I'd be puzzled by that.

It is hard to say one way or the other without me looking at the original photograph and I would need carbon dating equipment to show the year the photo came from.
