I think the new format that we launch today will do just that. <\/p>\n<p>It was not by coincidence that our break came at Lent. I had been feeling very dry creatively and badly needed a retreat. I put down my big camera and pulled out my phone and downloaded Hipstamatic.  I shot with a high contrast black and white preset and kept processing to a minimum.
