Ms. Booth’s Garden Photographs, by Jack Kotz $31.50, (List Price: $35) University of Mississippi Press, ISBN: 9781578065080, pp. 128.
Jack Kotz, a photographer from Washington, D.C. and Santa Fe, N.M., documented the simple, ordinary but grace-filled life of his grandmother in a small Mississippi town — her days in her garden and trips to the bank, church, and shops. “What most interested me over time was simply my grandmother’s day-to-day life,” Kotz says. “I was constantly intrigued by the seemingly simple way she lived and the reverence with which she regarded the simplest of things and most commonplace of experiences.”
