On Saturday nights, the streets of Wales’ capital Cardiff teem with drunk hordes of smooching, fighting, fainting club hoppers who just can’t quite hop all the way on home. Polish photographer Maciej Dakowicz spent five years documenting the party people clustering on St. Mary Street, saturated in alcohol. He caught them sprawled face forward in the road, getting into woozy fisticuffs with the cops, engaging in some bromantic rassling on the sidewalk, sleeping, bleeding, and coupling up on the curb. Check out the Cardiff After Dark series for documentary style captures of defining moments, brimming with carnality, as the jolly heroes sway and struggle their way through a storm of their own drunkenness.
