Thermonuclear Flash

From a Photo.net post:

Interestingly, my wife does use a camera with flashbulbs in clubs occasionally. It’s a Polaroid 100 that uses M3 and M3B bulbs. She’s never been thrown out, but once after taking a picture of a performer at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood a member of the audience was overheard saying “well, I’m blind now.”

The post was made in 2006. That was the year the Hotel Café banned flash photography.
