Editor`s Choice

This isn’t the first time we have seen the birth of a baby in the Week of Life project. Several times have we all seen this phenomenon on the photos of our members, yet each time it is different and extraordinary. And what more could we wish than a new member entering the project with such a wonderful set, filled with this emotional topic? That is a an entrance worthy of the Editor’s Choice. The man who documented another child birth is Petr Vodicka, who found out about the project just days before the birth of his daughter, Julinka. This was a decision that Petr will never regret in his life.

Week by week, he documented his life. Many of us enjoyed his sets and followed how he lives. Suddenly, he stopped photographing and remained silent for some time. The one we speak of is no other than Miroslav Dusanek, who returned to Week of Life after three months of inactivity with his new week called ‘Week again’. Miroslav always had something to offer in his images and this week keeps to that tradition. All we can hope for at the moment is that Miroslav will remain active after this Editor's Choice selecion and continue supplying us with his weeks.

We all have our patterns and everyday habits in our lives, but once in a while, we spice up the stereotype with something extraordinary and the flavor is usually traveling. Aneta Spevakova has added this flavor to her life recently and traveled out to see the famous carnival in the Italian city of Venice to create her 40 th week in the project. The name says it all – 40 - Ciao Venezia. According to her photographs, visiting the carnival is an amazing experience. The beginning of the week is all about the atmosphere in Venice and it finishes off with some great images from back home, typical to Aneta’s weeks. Several members have documented this festival in the history of the project, so it seems positive recommendations would be in order.

This is not the first Editor’s Choice for Dagmar Luhringova. She is a regular in the project even though she submits weeks with breaks in-between. Her weeks are however great on the technical level as well as in content. Her latest week named Thailand – February 2012 reveals that she traveled far from home to a popular destination to create this set. Thailand is a favorite with the tourists and rightfully so looking at Dagmar’s photos. The week is overflowing with wonderful images and is by all means the perfect choice for today, allowing us to feast our eyes on the exotic beauties of this country.

The latest Editor’s Choice belongs to a newcomer with photography as an integral part in his life and not only career-wise. It’s usually hard for a photographer to start documenting life since photography plays a role in their everyday lives already and now they have to stick with in their free time. It makes this week and the weeks of other professional photographers ever more valuable. Petr Vokurek has granted us a look into his life in through the means of his week called Artie’s birthday and entered the project in an important period to him and his family. The birthday celebration of little Artie is certainly a great way to enter WoL and we can only hope to see more from this photographer.
