Maciej Dakowicz

I have looked at the work of Maciej Dakowicz as reference for these images.
He documents Cardiff (Wales) night life. Although his response is different to mine, in the sense that i want to present the gritty, dirty, shameful and shocking side in a more grungy way. An interesting note i did make that i would like to somehow incorporate in my work is the way in which he titles the images with the time at which they were taken. I came across his images in the book (street photography now - page 32 - 35)
I want to give my images more of a grainy almost blurry effect to heighten the sense of "drunkenness" and present this idea of time being slowed down, the idea behind this being that alcohol reduces reaction speeds. 
After looking at my images i realise that i need to find a balance between the effect mentioned above and the clarity of Dakowicz images.
However i do like the ambiguity of mine, they require longer viewing time to fully absorb whats occuring within the frame.

Dakowicz's images present nightlife in a more comical way, almost representing the city as an urban playground. Many of his images are humerous and don't neccisarily present the idea of vulnerablity and the grotesque as i wish to with my photographs.
This series of work could take on many avenues and there are many routes which i could visually explore, for example I could chose to focus on the people and their clothing. The moments of boredom present on peoples faces in clubs. I could focus on a particuliar clubbing scene like students or the gay community.
I could focus on older generations who re-live thier youth in silly costumes. ECT
