obsessive compulsive collection

Inspired by Daniel Eatock's on-going collections (see: trees, car batteries, and camera straps), I scanned my childhood collection of hundreds of sugar packets and cubes and added them to my flickr and portfolio website.

I started gathering the packets in the early 90s when my brother Eric brought me a set of island-themed sugar packets from Hawaii. I picked most of them up during travel (lots from a visit to Eastern Europe in 1992 and Belgium and France in 1995), but there are also some US gems (including the Fashion Cafe!!)...

I always wondered what I would do with them, and I think they've reached their permanent destination. Now I finally get to eat them :)))
