Today’s editor’s choice relates to an event that has shaken the world and has affected hundreds of thousands of lives and will probably affect even more in the future. Yes, your guess is correct, we’re talking about the earthquake in Haiti. One Week of Life member, photographer Tomas Loewy, set out to Haiti while capturing another of his week of neverending parties. Thanks to this, his week has a very interesting character, which is contrast. Entertainment and human suffering.

Thanks to their concert tours, Musician Romek Hanzlík and his band have an amazing opportunity to visit various corners of our planet. He photographed his last week so far in the faraway New Zealand. He was able to document the beauty of local nature and incredibly changing skies, which engross all attention. Magnificent colors and diversity of Mr. Hanzlík’s week along with exhaustive comments overwhelmed the Week of Life editor’s office.

Zdeněk Dvořák documented already the third week of his life and once again his sense for people and photography took our breath away. It may seem that he cannot surprise us with anything but the power of life, which literally gushes from his weeks, is so great that one cannot get tired of them. It’s said that not even the best equipment will make you a photographer, you must have it in you. Without a doubt, Mr. Dvořák has this gift.

This year’s strange winter gives rise to so many amazing weeks, such as the one created by Pavlína Jandová. Being on maternity leave, she photographed with the help of her children and together they created a lovely week, in which they focused on children’s joy and beautiful details from nature.

Capturing a week of your life doesn‘t require special gadgets or the best equipment. A mobile phone with a built-in camera will do just fine. Radek Štumpauer tried this out and created a stunning black and white set, where even ordinary things become appealing. In this case it‘s no loss that the photographs are not sharp. On the contrary, an overall look at the individual days gains a softness, which soothes the eye. It is evident that Radek Štumpauer loves photography and enjoys documenting his life to the maximum.
