Camera shy
I have just returned from the Chimes shopping centre where I got an insight into the problems that our photographers can sometimes face.
I was at the Chimes for the launch of the Mother's Day competition we are running with the shopping centre and several of its stores - full details will be in next week's Gazette and there is a fabulous prize for the winning mum.
However, our chief photographer Chris Berry was also taking pictures of red roses being handed out by the Chimes to celebrate Valentine's Day.
While most people were quite happy to take their free red rose it seemed that very few would have their picture taken to appear in the Gazette.
Chris really had to work hard to get find people who were happy to pose for the camera, which just goes to show that a snapper's lot is not always a happy one....

The roses were being handed out by Hillingdon Council, Adrian, to encourage residents to love Hillingdon and recycle more.

Ben. This was a different promotion and was run by the Chimes Shopping Centre.
I was aware, as reported in the Gazette, that the council were also handing out roses to encourage readers to recycle more.
Thanks.
