a visual diary July 6, 2003
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
knowing how dan was killed in somalia and that he left such a visual journal was enough to want to look at this book. it a a tremendous body of work saved by the photographer. you fell his youthfulness in the scrapbook materials he saved--a lot with his girlfriend--as we all did when we were young

This is the most beautiful book I have ever read, and it hardly contains any words that weren't torn from a magazine or cut from a food container. I absolutely recommend it for anyone who is touched by lives led for adventure, for journalists and photojournalists alike, for diary-keepers and journalers, for artists and photographers and collagists and secret writers of poetry... Anyone who has a speck of compassion in them and an eye for color and beauty will treasure this. What a life lived!

I found this book in the special collection section of the library at VCU, and was very intrigued. It is a wonderful reproduction of a most interesting journal. Even if you don't take into account Dan Eldon's sad ending, this book can be an inspiration for beginning your own journal. His journal is artistic, vague, wild, and engrossing.

I purchased this book four years ago and I love it. The creativity in Dan Eldon's journals is amazing and inspiring. The pages of the journals are filled life and color. I think any art student who looks through it, regardless of the medium he or she works in, is practically guaranteed to be influenced by it - in a great way.I plan on buying this book for friends and family as a gift for years to come. It is a very special book to give someone as a gift because it is incredibly life affirming.
A captivating and important work of art. July 8, 2002

The Journey is the Destination presents a very unique and enlightening perspective of the world. The pages of this book are alive with photographs, color, and text woven together into intricate pieces of art. If you struggle with the forces of creativity v. compromise then the message here should hit home especially hard. There is much of Dan Eldon on these pages, making this read a very personal experience. Its especially enjoyable to learn that young minds can tackle complicated and important issues for us young folks without being trite, or boring.The Journey is the Desitination is a good book for everyone from the lovers of art and passion to those that want a good coffee table book. I would highly reccomend this book to everyone that wants to experience something important and touching.
