  • 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.

    Bonus Photo of the Day 14th March 2015.

    A man standing on a stage, screaming into a microphone held on a stand. 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 6th March 2025.

    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. The mic cord is wrapped around his wrist, and he is slightly bent over. 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. He appears to be bouncing into the air. Black walls and a white ceiling fill the background.

    A young woman with red hair, wearing a blue top that leaves her arms bare. In her right hand she is holding a microphone to her mouth, her mouth wide open and her eyes closed as she sings. Behind her, the room is dark, apart from the rather dirty white tiles on the ceiling.
