Daisaku Ikeda -
The Photographer
|
|
Dr. Ikeda is also active as a photographer. He describes his photographs as a “struggle to capture the truth.” Many are taken during the brief interludes of his travels
An exhibition of his photographs entitled "Dialogue with Nature" has toured several countries, including India. Some of the cities in India where it has been held include - Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkatta and Bangalore
Commenting on his photography, Ikeda has written, “I am not and never have been a professional photographer…I would be very happy if I am able to share, to some small extent, my joy at communing with nature, the ‘mirror of the heart’.”

For him, photography is just another means of offering encouragement to people. No matter what he is doing, he has his camera by his side. He doesn’t take time out, any more than nature takes time out, to take photographs. Moving to the same rhythm as nature, he is ready when ever she is, to record what ever expression she chooses to share.

The song of the sea, the mother of life,
is as gentle as a lullaby
|
The most stupendous “V” for victory !
|
The hush of highlands, caught by the camera
|
Let’s live like the Himalayas,
young mountains still growing even now
