Well the list came out a few days ago on who was nominated for The Baltimore Crown Awards that will be held on Nov 5th at 5 Seasons. And there were alot of familiar names and some new names this year. Yes I was nominated for Photographer of the Year and I thank everyone who nominated me. And no I really don't think I will win this year but still to know that I have my own "fans" that love what I do, is heartfelt and puts a smile on my face.
For me the big news was that Wisdom Court had over 12 nominations for the company its self as well as it's members and those affiliated with Wisdom Court. To me that means I made the right decision to be apart of this company.
I haven't really addressed that situation and maybe no one really cares but I think I want to explain not need to explain what has happened.
I have been supporting local music and artists since I met B.O.M.B. I was never officially M.I.B. but I was of course a supporter and to some family. Actually, I still am. I just seen B.O.M.B. and Doc Baltimore today as a matter of fact. LOL Ok back to the story....I was never apart of any one team, clique or business. I slowly became the Baltimore Paparazzi and had my own identity no matter how much people wanted to combine my face and name with someone else. I was and will always be Lisa or the Baltimore Paparazzi.
I met Billy Lyve. I had been hearing about Wisdom Court and it seemed like they came from no where but in fact had started out in the county and gained a fanbase there and then came into the city which I think was about the best move. The city doesn't seem to try and get fans. But that's another story!!
So I met and talked with Billy and became a fan and supporter. I liked what I seen. Not just music wise but on the whole business aspect. I have been hollering this is a business treat it as such for so long and it was like no one wanted to listen to me. But Wisdom Court gets it. It is a company, a business and it's a family. There is alot of support. Everyone has a job that they have to do and they do it without complaining or making excuses about why they can't do it!
So when I was asked to be the official photographer for the Sleep When I'm Dead Pt 2 tour I said sure. And then when I was asked to be a part of the Wisdom Court business I didn't even have to think about it. I am still Lisa the Baltimore Paparazzi but I'm also Wisdom Court and we all bring something to the table. When I was going through some issues and problems I got phones calls and messages making sure I was good because it was only a few that knew I was going through something. But these people cared about me and not for what I could do for them and never have I felt like I was being used by anyone. Business is business.
So with that all being said, again thank you to all of those who nominated me as well as those members of Wisdom Court for all the awards. I am so blessed to have so many people who appreciate what I do.

Congratulations on the nomination and the business move! It's always a positive thing to be around like minded people with a goal. Wisdom Court is something special, even from my perspective. I haven't met them or anything but just paying attention to the music and other moves they make I can tell they are focused, so Kudos squared for your achievements and good luck, never count yourself out.
Thank you. And congratulations on your blog being nominated! :) I think it really is a contributing factor of this scene. And I hope that you get a chance to meet members of Wisdom Court. Actually I haven't met all members and at every meeting and show I'm meeting another member. LOL
