Cardiff After Dark is the first monograph by British-based Polish photographer Maciej Dakowicz. Dakowicz spent five years photographing the nighttime revelries that take place in Cardiff over the weekend. Focused around a few pedestrianized streets in the city centre, Dakowicz's images capture nightlife fueled by alcohol and emotions. The arc of an evening's entertainment is captured in these candid photographs, which reveal fun and hilarity as well as fighting and drunken exhaustion. There are stag nights and hen parties, men dressed as superheroes and women dressed as Playboy bunnies, mountains of discarded chip wrappers, arrests by the police, and lots and lots of posing for photographs. Dakowicz's images, at times shocking or upsetting, form an important documentary photobook of British urban life in the early part of the 21st century.

The first modern translation of one of the world's earliest ethnographies
Chokha was a young boy when he first heard the call of the Lord. But all attempts to enter temples were thwarted by those who only saw him as a Mahar, an untouchable. However, Chokha's devotion was such that his heart became a temple and he sang with purity and complete faith. Chokha Mela's Abhangs or verses echo to this day around the temples of Maharashtra.
Kumbh Mela is a Hindu festival and probably the largest spiritual gathering in the world. Hundreds of millions of visitors attended the near month-and-a-half-long event. You will discover here, through photographs and a story, the evolution of cultural curiosity, of a half-declared mystical quest transforming into a spiritual experience of openness and introspective exploration. In Spanish, recordar means to remember. The re invites us to call back or come back, through the cor, through the heart. To remember would therefore be to come back through the heart. I hope that the openness and adventures that have known mine will resonate in yours.
Do Din Ka Mela - Bhajans for the Soul - are devotional songs about the journey of life. These familiar Hindi lyrics were transliterated into English. They include those of Kabirdas and Meerabai that are often heard in the voices of Hari Om and Nandini Sharan, Jagjit and Chitra Singh, and Anup and Purshottam Das Jalota. Kavi Pradeep’s small but unique body of work is filled with heart-wrenching lyrics. His style of music and the purity of his vocals creates uneasiness in our minds. One is overwhelmed by the desire to forgive, forget, and unite with each other. Equally divine are the bhajans by singers such as Anuradha Paudwal, Asha Bhosle, Lata Mangeshkar, Sulakshana Pandit, Mahendra Kapoor, Mohammed Rafi, Mukesh, and Talat Mahmood. By singing or listening to these soulful bhajans, a sense of meaning can be ignited in our lives, thus increasing our spiritual closeness and connectedness with each other, and most importantly God.
