~Reviewer Rob<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some may remember when a girl would approach you in a bar with an unlit cigarette and a certain “look” signaling that you needed to give her a light. <\/p>\n

I wasn’t a smoker but after a while I learned to carry a lighter in my pocket so as not to be a dud and miss an introduction. Photos here are by me somewhere in downtown San Diego, probably mid-1997. 35mm (ASA 400, maybe) Sav-On film negative digitized in Photoshop last night after all these years. <\/p>\n

Then in 1997 Sacramento outlawed smoking<\/a> in California bars after January 1, 1998. It was the first state in the country to do so, prohibiting indoor smoking in nightspots, bar\/restaurant combinations, bingo parlors, cardrooms, and casinos on a statewide basis.<\/p>\n

Below are some 25-year-old images from the time immediately preceding the bar-ban. I was converting 35mm color negs to digital the other night and hadn’t seen them since they were shot.<\/p>\n
