Dan
Eldon's Photographs
|
Dan created most of his journals between the ages of 15
and 22, although several small notebooks created previously
are included here among his earliest books. He started
his more formal journals in 1985 for a school anthropology
trip and an English class. At the same time, Dan was beginning
to travel around Kenya more often and to take more photographs.
Both his adventures and his images made their way into
his books. You can read more about the journals in this
excerpt from Dan Eldon: The
Art of Life, by Jennifer New.
Filled
with ephemera from his young life--newspaper clippings,
food labels, call girl cards picked up in London phonebooks,
and even grains of rice--the journals are fragile. Today,
they are stored at the Los Angeles country Museum of Art
and are not available for most of us to see. By clicking
on the journal covers above, however, you can experience
the journals using Flash. Flip through the selected pages
by using the red arrows on the bottom of the window to
