I am moving out of my apartment after three years. Yesterday I took my beer bottle collection to the bottle bank, but not before photographing them.
Again I am experiencing the tension between wanting to keep physical mementos of my past and avoiding unnecessary accumulation. If I drank these beers and got rid of the bottles, I would have happy memories of them. Without thinking about it very much, I created a pile of possessions that was quite difficult to discard.
I kept the Odell Brewery bottles. I will bottle cider in them.
