Ge' ne Clem Photography "To conjure the Classic"

-

Recently, I've had the brilliant opportunity of sharing information and conversation with Mr. Ge'ne Clem, Ge'ne is originally from Trinidad and Tobago; while attending school in Trinidad at (Vessigny Secondary School) he was taught the beauty of color through a vast number of mediums.

Soon this information would lend balance and grace to his work in so many ways. This work will transform  him into the man he is today, from the accidental Hairstylist in Trinidad to the self actualized  "Ge'ne Clem Photographer."

As I said Clem started out as a hairdresser in Triny' and soon moved to Brooklyn, New York. He spent 20 plus years working as a hairstylist; he was owner of "Trenz Hair Salon" but in 2007, Clem retired from the business and moved to Atlanta.

In late fall of 2009, Ge'ne decided to take his retirement seriously by looking into a passion of his, Photography. Ge'ne was fortunate to become close friends with "Stephen Brownlee" master darkroom printer at "The Serenbe Photography Center" with whom he is still learning the traditional processes of photography; he has also attended workshops with artist- instructors' Michael West and Robin Davis. Ge'ne has an amazing ability to capture flora fauna and peoples natural states' and make you see the beauty of them in the most classic raw-otherworldly-slightly-ethereal quality! I think his time as a hairdresser and artist give his photographic eye a transitional uplifting and soul taming timbre.

 His recent "Floral Stories" came out of a challenge by Art Collector and Curator "John Benette" John made a comment about his florals and how they could "be better," so Ge'ne grasped the challenge and his camera and went to work. Ge'ne Clem is not only healing himself with this cathartic process of allowing the visual concepts to flow, but he is channeling the power of his subject to heal the viewer as well, this has gone from being individually potent to collectively potent.
  
This Photographers Personal Philosophy: " Personal art creates something that moves the viewer, not just beauty but power a moving power; I feel your work should connect you and your audience, so they can immediately identify with you!"    " We have artists from hundreds of years ago who still captivate, this is what I desire to achieve with my photography the same soul connecting-timeless-reverberation."

Thought on Working From Home ( the serious editions)

-
    The shift to remote work has indeed brought many changes to workplace dynamics, some of which have been challenging. The lack of face-to-face interaction can make it difficult for employees to express their true feelings and concerns, leading to a culture where speaking up is discouraged. This can be exacerbated in environments where there is a lack of structured social interaction and open communication about job expectations and duration.  Moreover, the absence of in-person support can leave employees feeling isolated, especially when they are not provided with adequate guidance or training. This can create an environment where only a select few receive the attention and opportunities for advancement, often leading to feelings of favoritism and inequality.  On the other hand, remote work can offer flexibility and comfort that many appreciate. However, for a truly healthy work environment, companies might benefit from incorporating more experienced professionals who bring a wealth

Knowing where the spiritual leaders lives have been embellished

-
Current Climate, spiritual teachers and leaders creating apps and other platforms to monitor peoples ideas all to gain perspective on how to actively manipulate others, because some of these charlatans are literally vampires who have no real emotional ties to humanity. Their only GOD is money and how to make it, even if they have to use your life story to make themselves more interesting, human and relatable! I just read an article about someone that I knew and trusted and right in front of me, my whole life story, my ups, downs, triumphs and adversities carefully crafted and worded as to make it seem emotionally original! The only problem is, I know and it has left a bad taste in my mouth for all people who claim to have the best interest of humanity at heart and seem super relatable, maybe they're doing the same thing...now I have trust issues about all things spiritual, and self healing. I mean what type of trash DNA would it take for a person to cultivate a whole program off

Sound Healing and Religion

-
    Sound healing, with its harmonious and resonant frequencies, has indeed found a place in modern wellness practices, offering a unique avenue for enhancing spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being. This practice, while not inherently religious, aligns with the intrinsic human appreciation for music and its profound impact on the soul. The Biblical Psalms, rich in poetic musicality, have long celebrated the power of sound and song to uplift the spirit and foster a sense of divine connection. They speak to the heart of sound healing's ethos – the belief that auditory experiences can harmonize and heal. The Psalms, particularly Psalm 100 and Psalm 98, underscore the significance of making a 'joyful noise' and embracing song as a form of worship and celebration of life's creation. This ancient wisdom echoes through time, resonating with the idea that sound, in its purest form, is a gift from the Creator, intended to be used for the expression of joy, gratitude, and
