The Journey is the Destination Page #2

Synopsis: Dan Eldon, who was only 22 when he was chased down and killed by an angry mob in Somalia, was one of the youngest photographic stringers in Africa. But his journalistic work, which had appeared in Time and Newsweek, showed only a small part of his talent. Eldon excelled as an artist in his collages, which combined his photographs of Africa with paint, pastiche, pop culture images, advertising, and official documents. The Journey Is the Destination collects pages from the 17 scrapbooks that held his art. Chronicling his work from age 14 through his death at 22, this volume is startling not only in the intensity and thoughtfulness of the pages, but also in the fact that someone so young could have this kind of artistic depth and insight.

And Amy's come up

with a name, right, Mutz?

"Deziree sex safaris"?

I think it'll work.

We're gonna need a mechanic.

Right. Guys, dig deep

for Mozambique.

All right, next.

Thank you very much.

Next. Let's go.

White men can't dance.

Who's that?

Who?

Her.

Oh, the Princess.

She was in

the international school

with the rest of us in my class.

You know, Saba,

with the glasses.

Didn't recognize you without

the coke-bottle glasses.

I can wear them for you

if it helps.

It would actually, yeah.

How'd you learn to do that?

Do what?

The speed.

The speed is not human.

Hold on.

Guys? Guys?

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Okay, okay, okay.

Can you start slowly -

like dragging out of bed -

then speed up fast? Okay?

Yeah?

Ah, Swahili?

Little bit, yeah.

The floor is yours.

Whoo!

Well, all right!

Where shall we go?

Nowhere.

I have to go home.

I'll take you home.

No. I have a driver.

You should come with us.

Come with you where?

On safari...

To the camps.

Not a chance.

How can you say that?

It's for a good cause.

You don't know my father.

Yeah, well, exactly.

She never sits down.

Dan, why don't you tell

my father about your travels?

Well, every school break,

I try and go somewhere.

So Moscow, New York, Tokyo.

Father:
Hmm.

And, uh, your parents,

do they fund your adventures?

No, no. I earn my own way.

I spend nothing.

I don't eat much.

Mm, last year, I was in India

selling jewelry

and taking photographs.

Dan has been to 46 countries.

Yes, but India.

Who in god's name would

want to go to India?

Terribly poor.

A little bit like the slums

here in Nairobi.

You've been there,

haven't you, sir?

Tell me, young man,

what you plan to do when

you finish taking photos?

I'm not planning to finish, sir.

Actually, perhaps

we could have a meeting.

Discuss my ideas.

Like I was saying, I do

believe Robert Mugabe

is an exceptional politician.

Dan:
You are so beautiful.

You are so beautiful.

I love the way you look,

the way you talk,

the way you are.

Your eyes, your shoes,

your funny earring, your nose.

Your knees, your teeth.

Saba, what is it?

Saba, have you?

You made a decision yet,

darling?

Pardon?

Decision about university.

Oh, yes.

Cambridge law, I think,

same as daddy, come September.

That's my girl.

That's my girl.

Woman:
Impressive.

Impressive.

Just like daddy.

Benefits of an

English education.

Now, there are seven of you.

Small-to average-sized

African family.

Now you've just been forced

to flee your homeland

because of a disaster.

Not a natural disaster,

but a manmade one

which has seen your country

go down the tubes.

You are a family of refugees,

and this is all

you're going to eat...
