Today I'm shooting with Tracy Shumate for an upcoming Trendwatch for Canadian House & Home Magazine. She is the kind of effortlessly cool girl that we could have all done knowing in school (to raise our cred), but Tracy has another side to her too: she's quite eccentric scavenger. Her studio is filled with objet trouvé set up in clever vignettes on almost every surface. The shot below, a perennial favourite, is of a shoe Tracy found on the train tracks - I'd love to see it blown-up and framed in a simple white gallery frame. The faded glamour of the shot really gets to me, and what ever happened to the wearer?
