Photo Project Shows What People Would Save from a Burning House

If your house was going up in flames and you only had a few minutes to gather up a few things to save from the fire, which of your possessions would you choose? The Burning House is a neat photo project by Foster Huntington that asks this question, with photographs submitted by various people showing their most valuable possessions neatly arranged. Unsurprisingly, cameras and photographs are at the top of many peoples’ lists.

You can contribute to the project by shooting your own photograph and submitting it with text.

Would you be the type to run out of a burning house clutching camera gear and external hard drives? What would you save?
