Life on Earth through the eyes of its inhabitans

A camera, cell phone, or a video camera is an essential tool for everyone who wishes to contribute to the Week of Life project. Most of us are photography enthusiasts who regularly meet other photographers during events, when visiting a foreign city, on the street or even at home. The era of digital photography has influenced not only the Week of Life project, but the field of photography in its entirety, so seeing someone with a camera is not the most unique of occurrences nowadays. It was only a matter of time when the photo topic put together from photographs capturing others holding a camera one way or the other comes to life. In the selection, you will find a set of various photos portraying your fellow photographers in different moments and situations. Many were captured while desperately trying to find the right image, some were documented for their equipment, and others were caught discussing a topic no other than photography.

New York City is packed with legends and legendary landmarks. Hotel Chelsea is one of these landmarks.

We are proud to introduce the 4th issue of Week of Life Magazine, primarily created to spread the idea of WoL across the whole world in as many ways possible.

We believe that individuals who have not yet come across WoL will find the idea interesting and we hope to see lives of new members from across the globe soon.

Recently, our lives have become dependent on many inventions from the last few centuries. The combustion engine was certainly one of the most significant ones, especially for its use in cars and motorcycles. For many of us, these vehicles are the means of our everyday transport to work, school or any type of other activity. Some are satisfied with the older model, which gets us from point A to point B; others regard their transportation vehicle as a family member, their pride and a way of life. Let us look at the selection of your metal plated companions, no matter if they're of older year of manufacture, the latest product of your favorite automobile company, a stylish sports car or a well-preserved veteran.

In his adolescent years, Jan Povýšil suffered an accident, binding him to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. This unfortunate matter turned his life around, but it did not take long for him to discover new things in life and he quickly acquainted himself with sports for the disabled. As an athlete by nature, he immediately started swimming and luckily for WoL, also succumbed to the phenomenon of photography. As a result, we are now able to see the world of the disabled and their sports activities in form of basketball tournaments, ice-hockey games etc. Disabled sports have become quite a popular occurrence lately and the society has been made well aware of it, especially thanks to the increasing number of disabled athletes and the Paralympic Games that first took place in Rome in 1960.

The so-called professional compact camera niche hasn’t seen much activity from Nikon lately. That changed at the end of last summer, when the company introduced the Coolpix P700, a truly remarkable compact camera.

We’ve all been through it. Once in a while, we simply don’t feel too well. Permanent headaches, a cold and the only thing acceptable to drink is hot tea with honey. At this point of time, wondrous and colorful pills become our best friends and the only ones that understand our suffering. Being sick or injured is part of everyone’s life at one point or another and so we decided to find out your health condition. It is safe to say that we have collected many photographs portraying all kinds of illnesses, as well as the already mentioned pills, medicines and energy stimulants. Join us for an excursion into the homes of the sick and stricken down by infectious germs.

Not long ago we celebrated 50,000 photographs and now it is time to celebrate another significant milestone. We have reached the magical number of a 100,000 photographs!
