It goes without saying that more heads put together more knowledge. This could certainly be applied to the range of our vision as well, as more eyes account for a broader perspective and wider scenery. And since one of the main aims of this project is to compare and contrast lives of people around the world, we highly value the dual insight of the Sucharda family. Both Juraj and Monika share their domesticity with us, each documenting it in their own personal way and often during the same time frame.It’s almost beyond belief to have the opportunity to see how family life is viewed through the eyes of a man and a woman. Today’s Editor’s choice belongs to Monika Suchardová and her new toy… a camera.

She named her first week ‘At least I’ll try…’ An initial attempt subsequently turned out as a journal and while listing through the pages, we were invited into the private life of an Ostrava native, full of a hearty dose of energy and vivacity. Today’s Editor’s Choice is dedicated to Šárka Lisníková and her sets, which – here, we would dare use the words of the comments to one of her weeks – ‘mature like grape-vines’. With utmost sincerity, we all enjoy tasting every sample she brings forth.

Children are spontaneous creatures and especially the little ones. And even though they require our 110% attention, the times spent in their vicinity eventually become the nicest moments in life and we often come back to them in all kinds of memories and stories that proudly put a smile on our face. Barbara Havlíková is one to talk, who with her photographs introduced us to her maternity leave for the fourth time already and has showed us there is no time for boredom alongside her younglings. Her set is very playful, full of jaunty and trouble-free moments captured by a clever photographic eye.

More and more lives are slowly but surely becoming overwhelmed by the Week of Life project. We can feel your increasing enthusiasm and dedication to documenting your lives and what you experience every day. The number of weeks is rising and you are collectively giving all of us the opportunity to get to know each other in better fashion and experience some sort of empathy. Today, we have picked Lubomír Budný for the Editor’s Choice. He has been entertaining us with his youthful attitude and life perspective for some time now and with every new week, he grows in correlation with the project.

The Week of Life project is based on Adolf Zika’s book named One Year of My life In 3285 Pictures, in which he documented a whole year of his life. Indeed, it wasn’t easy, but very well worth it. Hence, fingers crossed for Mr. Dvořák, who decided to follow the footsteps of Mr. Zika and started his own one-year document. We highly value this decision, as well his dedication to rules of the project, since they are not at all simple and we hope that he will not be discouraged by frequent everyday stereotypes and repetitive moments that will surely cross his path.
