PHOTOGASM: This Cafe is Shaped Like a Giant Vintage Camera

Calling all vintage/photo-loving foodies: there’s apparently a giant camera in South Korea that doubles as a nifty camera-themed cafe.

It’s called the Dreaming Camera, and according to blogger Messy Nessy Chic, the small mom and pop, located just east of Seoul, is owned by a former air force helicopter pilot and designed to look like an oversized red Rolleiflex. Inside, the walls are lined with an assortment of books, panoramic windows, and vintage cameras, and outside, two round windows on the first and second floors serve as the camera’s “lenses.”

Anyone lucky enough to live nearby can check the cafe’s Facebook page for hours, location, and some gorgeous (of course) photography of the owner’s family and grounds. The rest of us, meanwhile, will just be sitting here, consumed by our envy and photo-lust, wah.
