I've always declared that I was brought up in the organ casing. My father was a talented musician, his favourite instrument to play was the organ and, as a child my favourite place to be was sharing the seat with him whilst he played. One of my favourite memories is that of him, after choir practice, asking me if the priest had left; on assuring him that we were now alone in the church he promptly launched into playing ragtime!

Hardly surprising then that I love to capture images of these frequently beautiful beasts of noise. These are the gorgeously decorated pipes at Ely cathedral.
