Outback Northern Territory, Australia
Outback Australia. The Northern Territory is stark, dry ... but also lush and tropical. Great variety and great beauty. Oases in a harsh land. Also a place of much sadness, difficulties. Life in remote Australia can be harsh. Joe Mortelliti had the gift of capturing that beauty with his camera.
Joe Mortelliti's life long love, from when he was first given a Brownie camera as a boy, was photography. It was the focus of his work life for many years. He loved to travel with his wife Marion to as many parts of Australia as he could. He had the ability to 'see' the beauty of our land in such a way that he could photograph it for the delight of others. These photos are a legacy that he has left us. Used by permission and with appreciation.
