Editor`s Choice

Lubomir Losonsky is an experienced author in the Week of Life project. This time, you can go through his 34th week called All about water and the visit from Spis. It has been a trend over in the project that after documenting life over a long period of time, your weeks get better and better. You look for new perspectives of the ordinary things in life and try to be original, though it becomes harder over time. Lubomir is one of the members who fits this description entirely and for us it’s a pleasure to see such development and award the Editor’s Choice as a result.

David Selicha is known among the Week of Life members for his unusual profession. As the only representative of this profession, he introduced us to the life of a sailor in several very interesting weeks. This time however, he left the dock and right from the start of the week he boarded a plane and departed in a non-typical direction. As opposed to most other travelers, he did not travel south to the seaside, but north to visit the Arctic Circle. Based on the photographs he took, it must have been an interesting trip and an extraordinary experience. Thanks to David, we had a unique chance to see the world as he sees it.

For her original style shown in her weeks, Hana Gela became the next in line of the Week of Life Masters. A new Master is chosen only once in a while and Hana reassures us with every new week that we made the right choice in selecting her. The same goes for her 40th published week called Summer Ostrava. Everyone who likes details of ordinary moments presented in unusual and interesting compositions will certainly enjoy Hana’s sets.

Recently, our selections in this category remained with older and stable Week of Life members. After several weeks, their dominance was broken by a premiere week of a new member, student Eva Strnadova, who named her entrance week “Premiere: Vacation in Moravian Wallachia.” In 9 images a day, she perfectly presented what she experienced during her week. The combination of black and white photographs or the vivacity of interesting details gives this week a must see status. For many of you, vacation weeks were first attempts in the Week of Life project, which later transformed into a mild addiction. We hope that Eva becomes addicted as well and shows us more from her everyday life.

6300 is a respectable and actual number of Honza Belej’s photographs in the Week of Life project! Only a few members can remain resilient while maintaining such high quality. Some of you may say that Honza’s weeks are repetitive. However, that is the real value of his weeks and Week of Life as a whole, as he is not afraid to document ordinary life every day. Documenting ordinary life is a problem or even an obstacle for many of us and usually results in only occasional weeks when we find something interesting to photograph. This is not Honza’s case and we firmly believe that he will rank among the members who managed to finish 2 years of life and continue to document his life after reaching this milestone.
