Take a photo and turn it into an image that looks totally old - vintage. This can be old as in 1800s old, or it can be 60's - 70's film old. The goal... when we look at the result, it should not appear or feel to be 'today' or 'current'. It may be that you will need to make sure clothing or autos or other 'current' things are omitted - or... use old clothing, autos, etc. Some still life scenes or landscapes will not require being careful about what is appearing. You can add cracks (like an old photo that has been bent). What about sepia? Dust specks? Light bleed? Turn your image into an old-timer postcard?
