    Recently I stumbled upon the German photographer Julian Roder, whom is quickly becoming one of my favorite photographers out there! I feel that his work definitely has roots in in the Gurskey-Becher schools while at the same time exhibits a strong influence in street photography. Which of course results in awesomeness in my book. Julian Roder is currently one of four runners up for the Aperture Foundations Portfolio Prize and he is a finalist for this years Magnum Expression awards. His work is currently on exhibit at the Rotterdam Netherlands Fotomuseum, check him out at: http://www.julianroeder.com/contact
