Summary

Now in paperback, REMEMBERING JACK is a stirring collection of photographs, many of them never-before-seen, by Jacques Lowe, who chronicled Camelot as JFKs personal photographer. Jacques Lowes photographs of the Kennedys, taken during his span as JFKs personal photographer, have become the iconic imagery of a time that remains vividly etched in the national psyche. Upon Lowes death, commentators credited his pictures with creating the myth of Camelot. Of Lowes 40,000 Kennedy photographs, only a few hundred have ever been seen. Authorized by the Lowe estate, this book features more than 600 pictures, half of which are previously unpublished.
