"When I first started studying photography at Bakersfield College under Bertil Brink, I was the only student that had a Rolleiflex, everybody else had 35mm SLR's. The class rule was to submit prints for assignments as a full frame photograph so naturally I embraced the square format. One of the qualities I love about the Hipstamatic with the Lowy + BlacKeys XF combo is that it is square and reminds me of shooting with the Rolleiflex back in the day. Our assignments were always using B&W film and incorporated some element of design, skeletal structures, perspective, scale, contrast, a solid black and a solid white in the print. This image embodies all of those qualities."
