This photo project was centered around food photography. I always enjoy my shoots with Celebrate Arkansas magazine, especially when food is involved… ok, and I get to eat it. I recently photographed ice cream, among other things, at Spark Cafe’ in Bentonville, next door and adjoining the Walmart 5-10 Museum. There was one particular bowl of ice cream scoops that stood out, that the staff gathered in a booth and enjoyed.
I’m sad to say, I’ve never been there, but I’m so glad I had the chance, I WILL be back, the ice cream was GREAT. The cafe’ has a very cool retro feel in every part, from the table tops, straw dispensers and wall decor. I have been through the museum several years ago, but it’s always interesting to see the items in the 5-10 store. There are so many items I saw on the shelves that I haven't seen in decades and brought back good memories of when I was younger and begging my parents for this or that (the answer was always - 'wait till the money gets thicker') If you’re around Bentonville, take the time to stop in.
