Following on from my last post, I noticed a great set of photos on Flickr, posted by Polish photographer Maciej Dakowicz, entitled "Cardiff After Dark". It is a striking set of around 200 images, shot over the past couple of years by Maciej around the city.
The set shows everything I find familiar about a night duty - drunks urinating in the street, people fighting, passed out on the pavement - in effect, turning urban areas into gigantic, uninhibited human sewers after around 10pm. Maciej's photos are like a tragic slice of urban theatre. His photos have gained recognition recently in Amateur Photographer.
If you want to understand some of what is so wrong with Britain today, you could do a lot worse than look through his collection.
