Hi Wayne, Jim and GB:
Professionally speaking one of the most powerful words to elicit
co-operation is ---- help.
ie: Do you mind HELPing me? I have to take a shot of this setting and it

or for Wayne's lady - Excuse me but could I take a photo of your glasses for
my daughter, she would love to look like you!
