form select not saving to the database

<%= f.label :type %>
<%= f.select(:type, ["original","print","other"]) %>

I have a photos model and added a drop-down list to the form, when the option is selected, the correct parameters are passed but it is not saved to the database. I've googled this and looked at the api but I'm not too sure what I'm doing. In my photo model type is a string.

Is string the wrong field type? or anything else wrong?

I suspect type might be magic, it's on the wiki list of reserved words:
