Time Traveler Caught in 1940 Photo?

Hipster In 1940?

Reopening of the South Fork Bridge after flood, November 1940

It’s the short description for the photograph shown at the virtual Bralorne Pioneer Museum, from British Columbia, Canada. The image can be seen specifically on this page (scroll down to see), among other items of the online exhibit. Did you notice anything out of place? Or perhaps, out of time?

The man with what appears to be very modern sunglasses seems to be wearing a stamped T-shirt with a nice sweater, all the while holding a portable compact camera!

Internet people reached to the obvious conclusion: it’s a time traveller caught on camera on 1940! Finally, we have proof!

If the story seems straight out of a movie and the photo is in itself a great funny find, the most amusing thing i came up with while looking into this — as an Internet person, on the Internet — was the reply for a skeptical, or perhaps somewhat cynical comment on how spurious it would seem the idea that a time traveler would want to visit the reopening of a bridge in some small town in Canada.

    How do we know this photo has not been photoshopped, like so much other stuff on the net these days.

    He must have been quite the character, I’d be surprised if he’s not remembered back in South Fork. Definitely not a time traveller though

    Military spending is more than half the federal budget but these Tea Party folks are conservatives who are pro-military, the ones who want to Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran.

    The sunglasses worn by this man were common enough in the late 1930s.  Here’s a link showing two late ’30s advertisements for them:  http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?51649-Time-Traveler-spotted-at-the-1928-Chaplin-film-quot-The-Circus-quot&p=1285762&viewfull=1#post1285762

    Terence McKenna said that when time travel is invented, instantly everyone from the future with access to that technology will come see that event.
