Dan Eldon: Safari As a Way of Life [Hardcover]by Jennifer New Photojournalist Dan Eldon left behind much more than the astonishing illustrated journals that would form The Journey is the Destination when he lost his life at age twenty-two while on assignment in Somalia. He also bequeathed a life story that has inspired students, teachers, artists, and creative activists—as well as a forthcoming film, an apparel line, and the Spring 2011 collection from Tom's Shoes. Raised in Kenya, Dan grew up with a unique outlook on life. Through adventurous safaris and benevolent crusades around the world, he crafted a philosophy of curiosity, creativity, and charity. This unique visual biography showcases previously unpublished artwork from Dan's acclaimed journals, letters, and snapshots that takes readers on a journey through Dan's life and beyond, exploring the impact made by this remarkable artist on everyone who has encountered his story. $16.20

The Journey Is the Destination: The Journals of Dan EldonEditor: Kathy Eldon This book is a collection of pages from Dan's 17 extraordinary journals, edited with both reverence and a critical distance by his mother, Kathy Eldon. The pages are densely layered, filled with collages of writings, photographs, and drawings; the beginning is packed with colors, quotes, labels, and photos of Eldon's friends, while the later pages are simpler but more sophisticated and resonant. The collection is a seemingly unfiltered testament to both Dan Eldon's amazingly sophisticated vision and the purity and naivete of youth on the brink of adulthood. $23.10 "Dan Eldon attended St. Martins School, Mill Hill London England as a young boy. In dedication to his memory St.Martins School has awarded an annual prize for the last 2 years to the child who has shown outstanding personal qualities through dedication and hard work during the academic year. My daughter Emily (aged 11) was priviledged to have been awarded the Dan Eldon prize this year. His memory lives on through many children in London who have been at St.Martins School and we are honoured to be associated with such a fine young man. His book is a history of a unique young life which although tragically cut short at an early age was not wasted." |
