She used to live in Slovakia, but left for the United States, specifically the state of Montana, to work as a cook. Veronika Kovacova has already settled in on the other side of the Atlantic and we are able to see how she lives there in one of her weeks called Summer is coming. Images from the kitchen or the restaurant are exciting, but it is when Veronika takes the camera outside we really see something extraordinary. It seems she lives in a land where most landscape photographers would be out of their mind, since it offers beautiful scenery full of frosty mountains or wild rivers. A little bit of rough editing to it and we have interesting weeks which will hopefully keep coming in the upcoming days to satisfy the curiosity of people at Week of Life, as well as all its members.

They are an important part of the Week of Life project. We know them quite well even though they don't have a single documented week of their life. We are talking about partners of the most active members in the project. A camera is a part of their life whether they realize it or not, so there comes a time when they start to feel the urge to document life from their own perspective, which in a way we are all familiar with already. The partner we are talking about is Jana Kasparkova and the name gives away the fact that she is Karel Kasparek's wife. Jana enjoyed documenting her first week and it has turned out pretty well. Her husband's influence is evident right away and works as some sort of a connecting point between their weeks in the project. Congratulations to Jana and let's hope she will now use the camera more often!

His contributions to the Week of Life project are rare; nevertheless, his weeks are always of the highest quality. David Papanek has named his latest week 'More or less ordinary and almost entirely on cine film'. As the name suggests, the photos have been captured on classic cine film. In the current era of large scale data, with the costs of individual photographs being negligible, it's always a pleasant site to see someone return to the classics. Fewer images to choose from, high financial demands and the fact that it is much more time consuming are only a few of the reasons why today, people have almost forgotten about classic film. David has shown that he is one of the few exceptions and presents his week with class, both technically and content-wise abreast.

With his 30 weeks, Petr Pink has become one of the faithful members of the Week of Life project. This week does not stand out from his previous work in the way that he somehow changed his artistic or documentary style. It is interesting for a whole different reason. He managed to persuade two family members to document their life in the same time period. We have seen similar attempts in the past from couples or siblings. Many of us have also tried to persuade friends or colleagues to document their life and it wasn't always easy, since finishing the first week is quite a difficult challenge. And that is why today's selection must go to Petr, as well as Kristyna and Vladimir, for enriching the project with three different points of view documenting life in the Pink family.

He has photographed over 40 weeks, recently graduated high school, but most of all, he matured in terms of photography being involved in the Week of Life project. Any idea who we're talking about? Yes, it's Vaclav Pavliček! He has presented himself with carefully processed pictures, where shifting in colors give the week a unique atmosphere. This has been the label for his recent weeks, including the last one called Falling asleep. His photographs lacking people are typical for his sets and play a dominant role. Nevertheless, they tell us a lot about his life and must have caught the eye of many. We once again congratulate Vaclav for his successful high schoul graduation and hope that he will keep supplying us with his interesting weeks!
