[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 57774, member: 986"] Vincent Versace was the guest blogger on Scott Kelby's site yesterday. His [URL="http://scottkelby.com/2012/its-guest-blog-wednesday-featuring-vincent-versace-5"]blog entry[/URL] isn't really an article about photography. But it will probably make you re-examine your approach. I bet this paragraph will make you want to read the entire article! "[I]So here I am at the second [/I][Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and Medal of Freedom recipient] [I]Aung San Suu Kyi shoot; this time it is at a luncheon for the dedication of a library in her father’s honor. So I ask once again, “What is the word in Burmese for ‘please’?” After a moment she says something in Burmese to her assistant, her assistant says something in Burmese to my guide, and the guide then says to me, “We don’t have a word for ‘please’.” I say, “You don’t have a word for please?” Again, after a moment she says something in Burmese to her assistant, her assistant says something in Burmese to my guide, and the guide then says to me, “Well, no, nor do we say ‘thank you’ as much as you do. ‘Please’ and ‘thank you’ in our society are implied in everything we do.
