I am packing for Cape Town right now - as you read these words I will already be in South Africa - and gearing up for what will probably be the biggest single shoot in Bel Ami history. A few days after I arrive I'll be followed by a complete Bel Ami crew: cameramen, production managers, interpreters, drivers, assistants, a person in charge of archiving materials and, of course, models (27 of them!) who are arriving in two big groups from airports in Vienna and Budapest.
One week later, we will be joined by photographers, Photo School participants and occasional celebrity visitors. I have to admit to being a bit nervous about the whole venture. Considering the actual shape of the porn industry right now, the whole thing seems to be out of proportion.
It is our first African trip following a four-year pause - and the last one was a real disaster. So keep your dicks crossed for me. If you pray enough to Dionysus, you'll get a new website as a result plus great summer programming. If you don't pray enough, you'll get increased fees instead to foot the bill.
Originally I wanted to be an investment banker, you know!
