Cardiff Characters

I have recently become enam­oured with two photo projects show­ing two very dif­fer­ent sides to my home city, Cardiff.

• Cardiff at Night: a set by Maciej Dakow­icz show­ing the debauch­ery that is quite typ­i­cal of the city on week­end nights (I’ve posted on this pre­vi­ously).
• Cardiff Char­ac­ters: the peo­ple who make Cardiff the city it is. From street per­former Toy Mic Trevor to Dirty Sanchez’s Pritchard; Dan Green’s been pho­tograph­ing those peo­ple that—if you’ve spent any time in Cardiff—you’ll recog­nise. A full set is avail­able on Flickr if you want to avoid the Flash­tas­tic interface.

The offi­cial word on the city is slightly amus­ing… in a cheesy, sales-pitch kind of way.
