this should translate to this, right?

No. Wrong

It translates to
'/a/b/c/Jack'\''s trip.jpg'

Am I missing something? I can't make any sense out of this, and I doubt it would work as a valid POSIX path. And how did that double quote get stuck in the middle of the string? 
There is none.

Am I wrong? What does it all mean? 
It's very easy. What you see consists of mainly 3 Parts:

1) '/a/b/c/Jack'
2) \'
3) 's trip.jpg'

Since all 3 parts stick together, the shell makes it one parameter.
