What’s Your Preference?

Hello guys,

My mom often said that if she could only save one thing, it would be our family photos — though that's not as relevant today in the age of digital photography. Has your home ever caught fire? If so, you probably went the safe route and saved yourself before your stuff. But if your house were burning and you could only save one thing, what would it be?

My Dog but I live in an apartment so it's pretty small I'm sure I could manage to take my most expensive gear out the door with me as well along with my external HD that has all my images backed up on it. Everything else can burn down for all I care hehe.

Definitely my mattress, I have $3 million under it - as I don't trust banks.

My pillow! Its my best friend - loyal, faithful, doesn't answer me back, doesn't care how much money I spend and is there to comfort me when I need it most.

Umm I am going to start with myself? Everything else is for the most part replaceable... but it would help to replace it if I were around to replace it!

My family. Everything else is insured and/or backed up offsite. If my house were burning I would worry about getting everyone out and would not think about saving anything else.

who are we all kidding... we would all make sure a camera survived.... otherwise how would we take pics of all the cool flames shooting from the rooftops?

I'll be pushing my motorbike out of the garage... can't have anything happen to my baby!

I'd make sure I was outta there!

But if I had time, I'd grab my computer, then my camera, then my surfboards..

I'd get the most expensive things out of there first. I've only got one camera and one lens so losing my computer would still be a greater loss. And all of my pictures are on it! I can replace the camera, but not the photos.
