Why I made Tin & Tell

The wrappers were really memories.

I started keeping the wrappers from sardine tins as little mementos. They reminded me of my travels—where I had bought them—and of the meals and people around the table when I ate them.

After accumulating several boxes, I had also lost track of which tins I had already tried and which I had particularly enjoyed. I wanted a better home for those memories: a personal journey, collection and photo journal. So I built Tin & Tell.

Tastings, remembered
