My old submission for the Burning house. They never posted it. The idea of the burning house is to take a picture of all the things you would take out of your house if it were burning down. Simple enough.

Name: Thomas James Slater

Location: Singapore

Occupation: Sound Designer and Composer for video games

List:

  • Antique Violin, family heirloom inherited from my grandmother
  • Django Reinhardt Vinyl I bought in Tokyo.
  • Score to Rimsky-Korsokov’s The Legend with a handwritten note from Igor Stravinsky. I found it in a used bookstore in Charlottesville, Virginia
  • A book on counterpoint and form by Arnold Schönberg, a gift from my mom.
  • Longboard I bought in Los Angeles and attempted to use it as transportation to work after moving to Singapore, but it’s too hazardous
  • Zoom H4n stereo field recorder
  • Canon 60d
  • iPhone, iPad
  • Passport
  • (not pictured) wallet, keys. These are always in my pocket.

Escape plan: Everything can fit into the shoulder bag, this is why I choose items that were both valuable and portable - save for the skateboard and violin, which I would carry in my left and right hands respectively.
