The picture was supposedly from some old photo archives.
Perhaps the easiest place to situate a time travel machine would be in space. This is for a number of reasons.
The first being that creating the kind of space-time curvature necessary for the activity is best done outside the larger influence of a nearby gravity well such as the earth itself or any of the planets in the solar system. This allows for the simplification of the operation since gravity offset parameters approach zero the further you are from a substantial gravity producing body. Aside from easing the initial travel, the closer the offset parameters are to zero, the more likely you are to move back to the same quantum future from which you left when you go back in-present.
The second is that it is substantially easier to hide such a device in outer space, beyond the reach of any casual observation activity. Since discretion seems an obvious necessity when engaging in observation in-past, the fact that locating the actual device off planet decreases the engineering complexity is a happy coincidence in that it also aids the hiding of the activity itself.
Given this, she need not be talking over an established cell phone network of any kind, so the suggestions of such are somewhat ridiculous, as are the suggestions that she is talking "through time". It's essentially a satellite phone, communicating with the time ship outside the atmosphere - probably well beyond the moon.

Nope, it was found in a Canadian museum and it's a 1940 picture of a bridge reopening.
This page explains how some of his clothing makes sense at the time:

wasn't there one from a different angle too?

Water is not wet!
Every time this picture is posted people focus on the "time traveler" and not asking themselves what William H. Macy is doing with the "time traveler."Lionel Mandrake said:
A Youtube comment suggested that what might be used in the Chaplin video is this..
An old type hearing aid where you cant see the battery under the coat.

Look at the name of the poster.koam said:

Nope. Look at his username. Look up the show Dr. Who if you still aren't sure.

Ah guess I need to watch Dr Who to get it,
Time travelling exists, I saw it on the youtubes

Clearly more than 1 person traveled through time and they are talking to each other, ad-hoc.

I've been trying all day to catch up with this "woman" but she eludes me. I fear for the futurepast of the timestream.
