Photography Appreciation
Recently, our society has seen images that have triggered international response, such as the image of the young Syrian refugee boy whose dead body washed up on the Turkey coast.
I came across a story of an extraordinary human being whose life was taken too early. Dan Eldon was a English-born Kenyan photojournalist and activist who was one of the youngest Reuters photojournalist known for his photographs that covered the war and famine in Somalia. His photographs, which were published in international periodicals, brought attention to Somalia.
On July 12, 1993, he and three colleagues were stoned to death by an angry mob in Mogadishu. What he left behind were his journals filled with collages, photographs, and drawings of his life experiences and his thoughts.
