The Burning House project features user-submitted photo essays showcasing what they would rush to grab if their house were burning down…

If your house was burning, what would you take with you? It’s a conflict between what’s practical, valuable and sentimental. What you would take reflects your interests, background and priorities. Think of it as an interview condensed into one question.
