Photographer's can now cozy up to their favorite retro film camera thanks to the Vintage Camera Pillow series. Although some would prefer to use the real thing, those who have crossed over to the "dark" side of digital cameras, this is a nice way to remember where it all started.

From Kodak to Amica cameras, this collection spans over various photographic developments. Since Smith graduated with a photography degree from the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale, it is only natural that she would know the history behind each camera.
Although her Vintage Camera Pillow series is popular, she also has other themes such as pets and manhole covers.
