January and February are traditionally slow months here at Bel Ami. Firstly, the weather is not merely cold - it is Siberian. Secondly, the camera people edit as much material as they possibly can to have enough time for spring and summer shoots. Thirdly, we are accumulating funds for the March Cape Town projects which I planned a bit too generously and our accountants are getting desperate. March happens to be also tax month. (There will be seven cameramen and thirty models not to count rest of the crew going).
March will be followed by a quieter April and the models are scheduled to travel to do rather exotic assignments in locations like Istanbul, Israel or Nevada. I am quite busy, too. I must prepare newsletters and programming for three months ahead of time.
