Elusive

Today she comes to play with her many friends. She's lovely and beautiful with long hairs. Guess, when she grows into the teens she might fare well as a model. Wanna know if she's photogenic too. Yet she weighs her priority on dedicating her little spare time to having fun with her friends instead of sacrificing those precious moments in facing the camera. So let her be, switching to Plan B. However, she's the most elusive subject evading the lens with profound skill. She hears the shutter, acknowledge the camera's position with supreme body language, as she's having fun chatting with her friends, at the same time, gradually letting herself encircled by them. At times, she's only giving parts of the profile, the eyes, hand on hairs, hand on lips etc. bit by bit but never the whole, forever playing hide & seek from the camera. To further add salt to the wounds, she'll leave at a moment's notice. Plan B got me some shots with lots of sweating from the effort.

As with everything of this nature in life, had to switched to Plan C. Almost got her unaware from behind the clothesline when she was urgently called away. <sigh>
