I don't think it's the store shelf but everything around it. When I'm in a store I mostly think about the bags I own and how frivolous another bag would be. When somebody takes a very good shot of a bag, all the attention goes to the bag. There is no background (or baggroundJust want to say that I see bags in these threads that I would absolutely love to have in my collection, but for some reason, I can see the same bag in the store and not give it a second glance. Why is that!? What is it about the store shelf that diminishes a bag's good looks? It drives me crazy.

I tend to like the foto's of bright coloured bags, bags with a certain sheen of photos with food on it. That it is visually pleasing does not mean it translates to my life. That is just the opposite. There are bags I love and wear so much but I just can not take a pretty picture of them.
