DAY TWO: This Bag Is Not The Most Beautiful Thing Ever

I could strangle whoever dropped this bag on the ground in Lakeview or Lincoln Park (this photo was taken basically on the border of the two neighborhood at Clark and Diversey). Not just because I hate litterers (I'm a Green with a big "G" and a small one) but because they screwed up my photo.

I was so in love with everything about this photo in tone and composition that it's one of the few photos that I left completely unaltered in psuedo-photoshop (I've got the real thing but the program I use, I've found, lets you do more with color adjustments). Then I saw it.

I couldn't see the white baggie in the viewfinder as I took the shot and I didn't see it on the capture screen after. It was only when I blew it up to full size that it was there. And now it distracts me whenever I look at the photo! UGH!

Well maybe I'll be able to go back on the roof of the parking garage in the Surf Building and take this shot again. But I bet I won't get the same composition and color.

Darn it! Darn it! Darn it! Stupid bag!
