SHANGHAI - We live everyday in a series of unseen pathways, footsteps of life rely more on the combination of facts and feelings than what the eye can see.
Milkings Lane, Monyash
White Light White Peak, the live show, is a personal journey through a year in the White Peak told through poems and projections. see: www.whitelightwhitepeak.com
“a beautiful work of art in every one of its facets – poetry, photography, stagecraft, soundtrack.”
Jim Marriott – Buxton Festival Fringe review.
"Summed up in one word - mesmerising." (Caroline Small, events manager at The Green Man Gallery, Buxton).
Touring the Peak District and beyond, September and October - with more dates planned for 2020.
Starting in the depths of a snowy winter, this is a poetic journey through a White Peak year, including encounters with the weather, wildlife and people; some amusing, some thought-provoking and many involving a Springer Spaniel...or two. The poems are told from memory and in a conversational style; more like miniature short stories at times, complete with twists and some happy endings.
The White Light is all in my monochrome photography: Atmospheric landscapes, wildlife shots and enigmatic moments, reflecting the images and moods heard in the poems and projected onto a large screen throughout the performance. With the occasional soundscape, (captured locally - and in all weathers) the whole is a highly immersive experience; the culmination of five years' work.
"White Light White Peak", the book, is published by Fly on the Wall press - order a copy here: www.flyonthewallpoetry.co.uk/shop Copies for sale at a discount (and signed!) at the live event if you buy the programme, which contains a supplement of seven poems with photographs.
A review of White Light White Peak – The Book:
“A joyous book - one to be slowly savoured. The black and white photos are truly atmospheric, the snippets of prose down-to-earth and gently humorous, while the poems are a wonderful celebration of nature. Simon Corble produces a little bit of magic in White Light White Peak, capturing the ethereal beauty of England's first national park. This is a book to keep and cherish.”
Helen Moat, freelance travel writer and book reviewer - author of "The Slow Guide to the Peak District".
An earlier variation on the image Diagonal Pattern, from two images back.
Though I prefer to use masks, I finally edited my brush for this by making a brush and using it with the eraser tool.
GIMP has a tool called the Paths Tool, which is like the Pen Tool in Adobe. I used it to create the brush used in this pattern.
Masking is easy; clipping masks are rather confusing. Just what I need to keep my mind occupied : )
This path leads to looming, low and ominous clouds on the horizon - all who tread forward be not feint of heart!

“If you want to go fast go alone. If you want to go far go together.” – African Proverb
The path isn't a straight line
It's a spiral
You continually come back
to things you thought you understood
and see deeper truths.

I love the paths along the dikes in Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge. A great place for a stroll after a great long weekend.

The dirt path that winds along the coast at Fort Foster in Kittery, Maine. The late afternoon sun was beginning to cast some golden light across the scene that was too good to pass up. I used a polarizing filter to get that deep blue in the background sky and the water. There's certainly a lot going on in this shot, but my favorite is probably the old trees on the left winding up towards the sky, and the moon positioned right at the end of the path.
