Hey! I’m a Baltimore-based photographer that shoots both digital and film. I mostly work on street photography, I post a lot in this sub, but only the stuff that I’ve taken in Baltimore, so there’s lots more from other places I’ve been.

ETA- I also do graduation photos, feel free to reach out to me on instagram if that’s something you’re looking for.

Check out my website below, and see if there’s anything you like! I sell prints of many sizes, framed and unframed. Feel free to message me if there’s a photo of mine you’ve seen that isn’t available for purchase. You can also see my work on instagram @jakesaltzberg

Reply to Disputing parking ticket by ALongBoii

Were you parked in front of a business that has ever done valet? Valet isn’t typically something that just pops up as a one time thing. I think if you can prove historically that there’s no permanent signage and the place consistently does not have valet signs you might stand a chance. If it’s a significant enough fine (guessing likely if there was a fee associated with the tow) that it’s worth the day you’ll likely have to take, I’d fight it.

No it's not.

No it isn't. I've been riding for 40 years, from dirt bikes to street bikes to cruisers. When I was a kid I did all the same things these kids are doing now on public streets. Hell I rode my dirt bike to elementary school. I've had many angry screaming people come out to yell at me in the street over that I was doing, and you know what none of them ever accused me of... stealing my bike. I did however see a kid who legitimately borrowed a friends bike get stoped by the school administrator who demanded he tell him 'where he got his bike from'. But that kid was darker than me.

I've been at bike nights showing off my bike and would get questions about wether or not I did my own build, while my ridding acquaintance sitting next to me got questions of 'where'd you get this'. You can guess the difference between to two of us.

I've run from the cops breaking up street races a couple of times. And each time cops waved me through the permitter they had set up, while the stopped the rest to check their paperwork. You can guess the difference once again.

I could go on and on with examples I've actually seen. But there is definitely a general assumption made that black riders steal their bikes and it is not the "same" and made for the rest of us.
