— November 28, 2012 — Tech

This camera nightlight is a great gift for the collector of vintage memorabilia and retro artifacts, giving them a chance to display a real vintage camera on their nightstand. The light bulb protruding from the center is a play on the bright flash that once came out of this camera while it was in its heyday.
