  • “The Journey Is the Destination: Safari with Dan Eldon”
    Objects of Art LA Presents a Special Exhibition “The Journey is the Destination: Safari with Dan Eldon” Limited Edition Prints from the Journals of Dan Eldon, Including Many Never Before on Offer October 6-8, 2017 September, 2017-- This October, Objects of Art LA will debut at The Reef in Los Angeles. One of the highlights is a special exhibit “The Journey is the Destination: Safari with Dan Eldon,” featuring over 25 limited edition prints from the journals of the artist, many of which were featured in the best-selling book of the same name published by Chronicle Books. Much of the work has never been on offer before and this will be the first time any of the prints will have been exhibited for sale on the West Coast. Every piece has a direct reference to Eldon’s safaris, and Objects of Art LA will be the only place to view several of his actual journals, which will also be part of the exhibition. Eldon's art is in numerous prestigious private collections, including those of Diana Rockefeller, Madonna, Julia Roberts, Christiane Amanpour and Rosie O'Donnell, among many others. There will also be two showings of the new award-winning feature film launched at the Toronto Film Festival, The Journey is the Destination, starring Maria Bello and Ben Schnetzer, which tells the story of how Dan Eldon, the artist, explorer, and Reuters photojournalist, led a group of unlikely teens on a rollicking safari across Africa to deliver aid to a refugee camp in Malawi in 1990. The film then follows Dan as he finds himself covering a famine and spiraling civil war in Somalia as Reuters’ youngest photojournalist.

  • Progressive Team Home Run Leaders of the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees
    Academic Forum 30 2012-13 Progressive Team Home Run Leaders of the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees Fred Worth, Ph.D. Professor of Mathematics Abstract - In this paper, we will look at which players have been the career home run leaders for the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees since the beginning of the organizations. Introduction Seven years ago, I published the progressive team home run leaders for the New York Mets and Chicago White Sox. I did similar research on additional teams and decided to publish four of those this year. I find this topic interesting for a variety of reasons. First, I simply enjoy baseball history. Of the four major sports (baseball, football, basketball and cricket), none has had its history so consistently studied, analyzed and mythologized as baseball. Secondly, I find it amusing to come across names of players that are either a vague memory or players I had never heard of before. The Nationals The Montreal Expos, along with the San Diego Padres, Kansas City Royals and Seattle Pilots debuted in 1969, the year that the major leagues introduced division play. The Pilots lasted a single year before becoming the Milwaukee Brewers. The Royals had a good deal of success, but then George Brett retired. Not much has gone well at Kauffman Stadium since. The Padres have been little noticed except for their horrid brown and mustard uniforms. They make up for it a little with their military tribute camouflage uniforms but otherwise carry on with little notice from anyone outside southern California.

In 1993, artist and photojournalist Dan Eldon was covering the famine and unrest in Somalia for Reuters News Agency when UN forces bombed the residence of warlord Aidid. Enraged loyalist supporters violently retaliated, murdering Eldon and three other western journalists. Although his life was short, Eldon lived his years with voracious passion, leading an aid mission across Africa, working as a graphic designer for Mademoiselle Magazine, publishing a book, directing a short film and creating 17 extraordinarily powerful volumes of art work, all before the age of 22. Nearly five years ago, in a space above a club that Dan had patronized when he was 17 and living in New York, Dan Eldon’s work first captured the hearts and minds of New York with an amazing one-night exhibit.

  • The Journey Is the Destination Movie
    The journey is the destination movie Continue © 1996-2014, Amazon.com, Inc. or its Los Angeles affiliates (CNN)In what can often be a divided world full of bitter political battles, social and economic injustice, racial and religious persecution - it's easy to get lost in everything. So how do you find your way? Your purpose? Dan Eldon found his early days, and risked his life -- ultimately losing -- to document and help those struggling with war and famine in Africa. He died when he reported on the civil war in Somalia in 1993. Now, his story is a Netflix feature film.Writer and director Bronwen Hughes came across Dan's story by reading the book titled The Journey is the Destination -- compiled by Dan's mother, Kathy, based on the dozens of magazines he left behind. When the pages of this book open, it's like going down some kind of rabbit hole - so many witty observations and ideas, Hughes told CNN. It was almost as if he had left a visual map of how to see the world through his eyes. Dan Eldon was born in England in 1970. When she was 7, she moved with her parents and younger sister Amy to Nairobi. Kenya's color and chaos was ideal for this dyslexic child with wild ideas.'One of the most exciting people I've ever met'Dan tracked down his mother, Kathy, a newspaper journalist who championed activists and nation builders in her columns. His young mind was captivated by these social pioneers. These people didn't necessarily ask for permission and didn't necessarily get licenses, but they solved whatever the problem was and I have to write about it, said Kathy Eldon on CNN.
