Joseph Moretti is an Oradell, NJ 9-year-old who loves to take photographs. Since age 4, Joseph has photographed all the things that capture “his world” — Sunflowers he grows from seed every spring. A secret alley behind the camera shop. The “Castle” in town. Stained-glass windows. Skyscrapers on 42nd Street. People and pigeons in Times Square. The wings of a butterfly. A snail on a fig tree. A Bald Eagle. George Washington. His own reflection.
Joseph’s photographs have previously been exhibited at Martin Hick’s Gallery/The Belskie Museum in Closter. For the past two years, he was awarded Bergen County honors from Reflections — the National PTA arts recognition program — for three photographs: “Good Morning, Sunflower!,” “Welcome to America,” and “Go Snail! You Can Do It!”
When not taking photographs, Joseph can be found playing baseball, chess, and Plants vs Zombies.
