Camera Hat Man
The fellow in these amazing pictures is wearing a suit made from albumen prints but I'm not sure whether or not that camera hat actually worked. There were 4 such shots taken and it may or may not be a self portrait by Carleton E. Watkins from ~1870. There's also a photo of the same guy in kilt 10 years later.
Watkins prodigious photographic record of the American West is unrivalled for the period."
These were among a collection of 330 photographs that sold a couple of days ago for $70,000. [via]
