This blog post is somewhat apt for the season: a portrait assignment of a somewhat excentric English character, the self-proclaimed Mr Christmas. Andy Park, a 45-year-old divorced electrician, has been celebrating Christmas full time, i.e. every day since July 1994.
Apart from going to work in the morning, he consumes a roast turkey, champagne and toasts to the Queen's speech punctually at 3 pm every day, Sherry in hand. Over the years, he has consumed 5000-odd turkeys, nearly 118,000 brussel sprouts, and about 5000 bottles of Moet champagne. An odd diet, and a bit one-sided for my taste. But nevermind what one might think of the lunacy of daily Christmas celebrations, Mr Park was very open and cooperative and let me photograph him pretty much any way I liked. So here goes a small slideshow of our visit.
