American Photo Debuts Monthly Musings by Matthew Rolston

Celebrity photographer Matthew Rolston recently called up American Photo editor David Schonauer “to say he wanted to try something new and write about photography.” Done! The magazine has given Rolston a column (or at least a page to himself), which debuts in the July/August issue and Schonauer describes as a place for Rolston to “mus[e] about the essentials of photography, and by that I do not mean f/stops and Photoshop layers. Rather, he will be offering some thoughts you won’t find in most how-to photo books—thoughts about why we love to make photographs and why photographs speak so powerfully.”
