Dialogue with Nature: Overview
Daisaku Ikeda as PhotographerDaisaku Ikeda is an avid amateur photographer with a particular love of scenic landscapes and natural beauty. A series of his photographs has toured numerous countries in an exhibition titled "Dialogue with Nature."
Ikeda has written: "I am not and never have been a professional photographer and, due to my busy schedule, I end up taking many of my photos while traveling from one appointment to another; sometimes I stop the car for just enough time to take a photo. 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'. In this hectic age, it is important for us to stop from time to time, take a deep breath, and look closely at ourselves and the world around us."
Ikeda is an honorary member of France's Val de Bievres Photo Club, an overseas member of the Weiner Künstlerhaus (Austrian Artists Association) and an honorary life member of the Singapore Photographic Society.
