He said that in Greece one can't refuse, it's their custom. I believe it's the same here in Japan too. Course in America, anyone can widdle out of anything I suppose. No offense anyone please, you know it's true :-) They likely already know he can take good photos, so obviously most of what you suggest would be kind of like lying. I think he should do as all other Greek Agronomists do - take his own photos and enjoy it. Make the most of it. These 'extras' we do for companies can really come into play at times.
