I’ve got a wicked case of writers block.

The last time I put anything on this blog was January, 2021, about 20 months ago, around the time I started my monthly newsletter, [*One For The Road*](https://www.maxsidman.com/newsletter), which became my main outlet for sharing photos, writing, and music.

I recently decided to make a change to the way I do things with photos and general writing — that is, to post that stuff to this blog instead of the monthly [Substack email](https://onefortheroad.substack.com/) — and use *OFTR* to share some music recos and drop links to whatever I’ve done here.

And for some reason, that’s the only writing topic I’ve been able to focus on for a week: basically a blog post that classifies as a “meta procedural.” And holy shit is that boring.

So in lieu of something interesting to read, here’s something (hopefully) interesting to look at: a gallery of black & white 35mm film photos taken over the last few months, on Kodak Tri-X 400 with either the Rollei 35S or the Olympus XA.
