1. I'm here because I'm still recovering from cancer and unable to do much else. Eva still runs the business though. Lucky to have a partner and wife who picked up the reins and took over.
2. Since the decline of the magazine business there's still money in content if you know where to find it.
3. No idea at all.
The business has been in free fall for at least 5 years. Tubes and the economy have made it worse. Some will survive and some will not. But the good old days of working a day or two a week, taking 3 holidays a year and trips to sunny climates to shoot naked females and making a 6 figure income are long gone for shooters. Lucky to have been there when it was good. Still better than a 9-5 job.
