2012 was the greatest year in the history of The Shoe, perhaps even the greatest year in the history of all shoes. We had 357 photos of discarded clothing posted on the site in the last 12 months, and photographs were taken in four different countries-the United States, Ecuador, China and Williamsburg, Kentucky. We even had our first freelance photographer captured while on assignment as Kerwin Daniels went missing at the end of March.
Awards!
