Bologna, Parco della Montagnola lamposts, Film Photography by Bill Wierzalis

Bologna, Parco della Montagnola lamposts

Though our train was leaving in 1/2 hour, I saw the lamposts winding up the stairway leading to the park. Though it seems a sepia print, the warm browns of brick give Bologna the uniform look. We just made it to the train!

Dimensions: 16"x20"

About the Artist:

Shooting with my 1972 Nikkormat 35 mm camera, I embrace the lost art of film processing and printing. I’m keeping it alive by teaching a beginning and an advanced class of color film printing at Full Circle Fine Art Services in Baltimore. With so much digital imagery in the world, my students love the slowness of this hands on process and the mystery of the darkroom.

I’ve been fortunate to share my images and stories with many at art festivals and quite a few ask, “Do you only do photographs from Italy?” I’ll mention that I also have images of Baltimore and when I show them photos of Mt. Vernon Place, they’ll say; “Oh, I thought that was Paris!”
