I don't have much of an imagination, but this was fun, and I could totally see it as an old snapshot. Again, I ran it through ACR (4.3 this time), applied part of a sketch technique (I can't for the life of me remember whose):
Ctrl J to copy, Ctrl+Shift+U to remove color, Ctrl J to copy the B&W layer. Ctrl I to invert B&W layer. Change blend mode on inverted layer to Color Dodge, then, instead of going to Filter, Other, Minimum, I went to Filter, Blur, Gaussian Blur set around 90. Now, back to original layer and Ctrl J, bring that up top and reduce opacity. I then merged the top 3 layers, applied a Sepia Layer Effect, added a levels adjustment layer and a vintage frame.
