Vintage Photo: Couple Celebrating at the Park

In this photo, I go retro. I didn't scan the negative, but the old faded print. The paper is ivory in color and has a stipple texture that was popular in the 80s. I like it. I hope you like it too. I've had this 4x4 inch print on display at my home for several decades. Now you get to view this couple having a couple beers and celebrating Cinco de Mayo at a Downtown San José, California park.
