  • Photo of the Day 14th March 2025.

    Long exposure of a man wearing a black stetson hat and a black shirt with red piping around the pockets. There are 2 images of him in the frame, the lowest is frozen in place because of a flash, then another as he moves while the shutter is open. In the upper image, he is singing into a microphone in front of him. Red light is painted around his head. The walls in the background are entirely black.

He has short dark hair, and is wearing a black shirt and light grey trousers and white trainers, and is playing a brown electric guitar. In the background, a drum kit is in the middle of the stage, with black curtains behind that, with large coloured lights on roof-mounted racks at the top of the frame, pointing at the front of the stage.
    Kev Dixon, singer and guitarist with Junk Culture, a Liverpool-based band, at a gig at L2, Liverpool, 5th July 2001. Of all the photos I took of Kev over the years, this is probably my fave, it’s just a pity I only have this compressed edit rather than the original.

  • Photo of the Day 13th March 2025.

    Close-up of a white electric guitar being played by someone wearing a black t-shirt with a yellow and blue design on the front, and black pants, with several wristbands on their right wrist. Their right arm is frozen in place by the flash, but is also obviously moving, the long exposure painting it's edges with light. The background is blurred into smears of light.
    An action shot of the lead guitarist from the band Vigilance wielding his weapon of choice at a warm-up gig at the Astley Rifleman, Stalybridge, 6th September 2012. I had long since left the music biz, but my son was the singer in a band, and they wanted some photos, so here I was…

    A long exposure close-up photo from the side of a woman with long blonde hair cascading over her shoulders, wearing a black dress that leaves her arms and shoulders bare, playing a brown bass guitar. She is leaning slightly backwards, and is looking at her left hand. There is a red tattoo on the back of her left wrist.

  • Photo of the Day 11th March 2025.

    2 members of a band performing on stage-on the left, a man with brown hair, wearing a black t-shirt and dark blue jeans, playing a black and blue bass guitar, leaning forwards, with another man on the right, with unkempt ginger hair, and wearing a dark blue t-shirt and light blue jeans, playing a purple electric guitar and leaning backwards. Both men are frozen in place by the flash, but are still obviously moving, leaving coloured shadows at the edges of their arms and heads. A red light in the upper right corner is painting the center of the frame, creating visual echoes of the head of the bass. Black walls with mounted wooden frames fill the background.

    2 members of a band on stage - at the front is a shaven-headed man wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans, holding a microphone in his right hand and singing into it, his eyes closed.

Behind him is a man, also shaven-headed, wearing a white t-shirt and red trousers, playing a white bass guitar, and shouting into a microphone a couple of feet in front of him, with his eyes closed.
