Dan Eldon was a friend of mine. We both went to the same high school- the International School of Kenya in the 1980s-90s.  Even at such a young age Dan’s creative talents were so apparent.  After graduation, Dan became a war photographer in Somalia for Reuters and it was there that he was killed in action on July 12, 1993 at the age of 22. He was the first person I knew that had ever died. His photography moved and inspired me and is one of the main reasons that I am a photographer today. You are missed……
