Capturing Camelot by Kitty Kelley is about capturing the 60′s, the age of those who dared to dream a dream and went out and made it happen like John F Kennedy, who helped make the modern world.
A consummate photojournalist, Stanley Tretick was sent by United Press International to follow the Kennedy campaign of 1960. The photographer soon befriended the candidate and took many of JFK’s best pictures during this time. When Kennedy took office, Tretick was given extensive access to the White House, and the picture magazine Look hired him to cover the president and his family. Tretick is best known today for the photographs he took of President Kennedy relaxing with his children. His photographs helped define the American family of the early sixties and lent Kennedy an endearing credibility that greatly contributed to his popularity. Accompanied by an insightful, heartwarming essay from Kitty Kelley – Tretick’s close friend – about the relationship between the photographer and JFK, this collection includes some of the most memorable images of America’s Camelot and brings to life the uniquely hopeful historical era from which it emerged.
