Photo of the Day 24th March 2025.

Long exposure of a man with dark hair, wearing a white t-shirt and a blue pair of jeans, holding a microphone in both hands as he sings. A long exposure shot, starting zoomed out then zooming in, with no flash. The result has clouds of blue and purple lights around his head, with streaks of green lights in both top corners, with secondary images of the singer behind him.

3 members of a rock band on a stage - On the left is a tall man with short dark hair, and wearing a lightup, red horns headband, a white t-shirt, and blue jeans, playing a white guitar. His face is painted white, with a black stripe across the eyes. In the middle is a woman with long blonde hair cascading over her shoulders, with a red headband with a red butterfly suspended above it, and wearing a white t-shirt, a black and white checked mini skirt, and black high-heeled shoes, playing a white bass guitar. Her face is also painted white, with a thick black stripe over the eyes. On the right, at the back of the stage, a man with short dark hair and wearing a white t-shirt and pale blue jeans, is sitting behind a white drum kit. Again, his face is painted white, with a thick black stripe across his eyes. Green and red lights are fitted at the back of the stage, with another red light in the top left corner of the frame. Black and yellow cables are strewn across the floor of the stage, with amplifiers and spare guitars scattered around. Black walls and ceiling fill the rest of the frame.

Jess, the singer and bassist, is my cousin, and she asked me to take some photos, and it turns out that the guitarist knew one of my friends as well, so it was quite an interesting experience.
One of their songs, The Thrill Of The Chase, is the soundtrack to one scene in a novel I was writing at the time – I didn’t hear it until after writing that section, but it fitted perfectly.
I really must finish writing that thing…

A man with a bald head and big, bushy, black beard, wearing Shalwar Kameez (a traditional form of dress worn in East Asia, particularly Pakistan, Afghanistan, and parts of India), and playing a black headless bass guitar. He is singing into a microphone on a stand in front of him. In the background, racks of amplifiers can be seen, with curtains covering the walls behind them. The whole image has a red tint from the stage lights.
