John Ringeri, Tasmania, Australia (P608)

Enjoy this lovely photo of our new Contributing Photographer, John Ringeri, taken at Dove Lake, Tasmania, Australia. The photograph presented here was taken in the iconic Cradle Mountain – Lake St Clair National Park which is the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. This park is revered for its diverse and breath-taking landscapes: from moss-covered ancient rainforests and deep river gorges to snow-covered mountain peaks, wild alpine moorlands and glacial lakes.

John comments, “My name is John Ringeri and I am an active Melbourne (Australia) based photographer and president of a local photographic society. I came across Healing Photo Art in a recent article in MEDIUM publication and it resonated with me. Personally I have had family members affected by cancer, with my mother dying from Melanoma at the age of 52.  I fully understand the benefit of improving people’s outlook, personal mood and well being in their unfortunate condition. Having travelled to some spectacular places in the world, it is a great pleasure to be able to share the visual impact of some of these beautiful natural wonders with those who are confined to hospital treatments for a significant period.  In my mother’s memory and my family affected by cancer, I am honoured to be able to share my work through the Foundation for Photo/Art in Hospitals initiative founded by Elaine Poggi.”
