Den Finocchiaro and A Flash of Inspiration

Not too long ago, I stumbled upon a pretty magical place in my search through Etsy...a shop belonging to the writer, Den Finocchiaro, whose poignant text typed directly on vintage photographs drew me in to take a closer look.  While this blog has its roots in found text, I'm really interested in creative use of text and this is a wonderful use of text on found photos.  I asked Den if I could post some of his pieces here to highlight his work and his shop.  Here's just a sample of a few pieces from his shop, A Flash of Inspiration.  I enourage you to visit his shop, as well as his blog and facebook page.  Den has just published a new book, The Z Word,which is available through Amazon here.

Enjoy!  See you on Wednesday for the latest from Missouri Bend Studio!
