Gideon Jacobs, former Creative Director for Magnum Photos, writes

Rothenberg’s work always reminds me of legendary MoMA curator John Szarkowski's famous sentiment: “One might compare the art of photography to the act of pointing.” Rothenberg uses his camera the same way you’d use your index finger while on a walk with a friend, beckoning us to notice something that we simply wouldn’t have noticed without him.
