Reading the interesting blog 5b4 I discovered the work of Australian photographer Jesse Marlow.
“Street photography is my main passion. The solitary experience of walking the streets seeking out ‘that’ moment – a rare emotion, a chance sight. And yet, it is often the most everyday things that I keep coming back to, such as people meeting on a summer’s day; a kiss; journeys made on the train.”- Jesse Marlow

Jessy Marlow just published an interesting book “Wounded” about people who recover from severe wounds as they go along their daily routine in the street. You can see the images here.
“Having my arm in a sling for a short period of time some years ago opened my eyes to others around me in similar situations. It was then I began to consider the possibility of producing a series of photographs of people on the street in similar situations. Being wounded is an unfortunate experience most of us have to deal with at some point during our lifetime. Every time I turned a corner for the next few years, it seemed like all I saw was a broken arm or leg and crutches. Photographically it became a challenge to turn interesting looking injuries into interesting photographs. These are not photographs you can set out to take. Sitting outside a hospital would be cheating” - Jesse Marlow
