No Fluffernutters?

The first photo above is what the photo from the last entry looked like before I made a paper negative of it. This one was selenium-toned. The second photo is from the same cemetery. B/W print, plus blue toner. That's a little of what I did in class last night. Just toned a bunch of stuff--selenium, sepia, and blue. Didn't print anything new--my eyes were too tired and blurry from staring at the computer at work all day.

For the first time since I moved to Arkansas, I saw a jar of Marshmallow Fluff for sale in the store. Oh, all along they've had a poor imitation, known as "marshmallow crème," but that stuff's just kinda flat-looking (and probably -tasting) compared to Fluff. Not that I'm condoning the indiscriminate eating of Fluff. I looked it up, though, and there are no preservatives, artificial flavors, artifical colors, or anything else fake, but a Fluffernutter is, after all, like eating a peanut butter and sugar sandwich.

Anyway. I guess even Marshmallow Fluff is a regional thing.

ok, first to comment on your pics. There are really grat. I like the way you captured so many of the statues in a row. Is it any particular "type" of cemetary like Catholic or something.
Secondly-a little history on the Fluffernutter. When I was growing up we ALWAYS had peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwiches. Then when I was about 16 or so they came out with the Fluffernutter--like it was a new invention or something!! Same ole sammie, different name!

Both photos are nice. I especially like the second one. The oceans edge is an unusual place for a cemetery.
Never was a fan of Marshmallow Fluff. Yuk!
