A last hoorah

These are some of the portraits photographed with Aubrey. That camera taught me that regardless of the quality of camera, art comes from within the heart. These are some of my favorites. It would be impossible for me to display every picture I took with it that I loved, but here are a few.

RIP My Beautiful Aubrey

I'm sad to report that I have not blogged in a month because I have lost a dear friend, Aubrey. Aubrey was my first DSLR. Named after one of my best friends in high school, she fulfilled her duties as a good camera. While in recent shoots, she wasn't my favorite camera to shoot with, she held a special place in my heart because she was mine. I didn't have to share her with my family. Standing at only 8 megapixels with only a 1600 ISO, she made up for it in love. Her generous 200,000 exposures were nearly all immaculate. RIP, Aubrey. You will be missed dearly.

Now, for those of you who wanted my stuffed breadstick recipe

-1 tsp Salt
-Butter
-Garlic
- 4-5 Mozzarella Cheese Sticks cut in half (lengthwise)

1½ cups warm water

2 Tbsp. sugar

1 Tbsp. yeast

Let that sit for 5 minutes. Then add:

3½ cups flour

1 tsp Salt

Mix until smooth then let raise for 10 minutes. Roll out dough into a large square on a floured surface. Brush with melted (real) butter mixed with garlic and then sprinkle with kosher salt. Cut into 1 inch strips. Twist around  mozzarella string cheese and place on a cooking sheet. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes to raise. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately after baking, brush with butter and sprinkle with kosher salt.
