Dan Eldon: Safari as a Way of Life

Dan Eldon: Safari as a Way of Life by New, Jennifer. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780811870917.

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 Toms 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 This unique visual biography showcases previously unpublished artwork from Dans acclaimed journals, letters, and snapshots that takes readers on a journey through Dans life and beyond, exploring the impact made by this remarkable artist on everyone who has encountered his story.
