The Art of Life: Dan Eldon in Africa - Part 2

Dan Eldon was an artist and photojournalist who grew up in Kenya and was one of the first to bear witness to the famine in Somalia. He was killed on assignment in 1993 when he was only 22-years-old.

Dan left behind 17 artistic journals in which he documented his own life through art.

The Art of Life is a portrait of Dan as artist, photojournalist and humanitarian - whose short but passionate life became a source of inspiration to many others.

I had the unique privilage of knowing Dan. We were in school together in Nairobi. Times I will always cherish. I did not find out of his passing until about ten years after it happened. It still affects me today.
