Dan Eldon: See God for More Information

I feel so clueless (since apparently his life and work have inspired a whole movement I was unaware of), but I just stumbled over this site on Dan Eldon's work. Eldon documented his journalist and artist work in various locations (including New York, Somalia, and Mogadishu) before his untimely (and violent, war-torn) death when he was only in his twenties.

The images and journal sketches/collages are amazing. The site includes sketchbooks and journal entries from his mid-teens through his early twenties, as well as his photojournalism, writings, and material from memorials and tributes by others.

(Note: This is site is simultaneously depressing and inspiring. Don't say I didn't warn you.) Posted by johndan at May 21, 2004 02:36 AM | TrackBack
