Use Your Old Camera As A Desk LampUPDATE: as promised, here comes the tutorial.

Kirsty from kootoyoo came up with a nifty concept for camera that works backwards. Instead of taking light in, this camera spews light out, making it a tripod mounted desk lamp.

This is pretty much in line with today’s concept of reusing old film cameras as light sources :)

Kirtsy is going to post a tutorial on how to make on of those in the following week, so stay tuned. (Or if you can’t wait you can try soliciting her to selling you one. I hear she loves coffee)
