Life on Earth through the eyes of its inhabitans

We must admit that we were a little hesitant with this Photo topic, since it is on the borderline of our privacy. We are no puritans; however, we simply did not want for this section to end up as a selection of nude photos, completely irrelevant to the philosophy of the project. Nevertheless, your photographs have convinced us to implement this decision and even though we may be standing on thin ice, we think that it was totally worth it. Intimate moments are a part of everyone’s life. What could be more intriguing than the kiss of a couple in love, the revealed parts of a body of the one we love, documented only with the best intentions, or the exposed parts of our own body to the extent we have personally chosen? There is no shame in nudity or expressing emotions. So, please approach this topic as a celebration of everything that is naturally close to us and get to know yourselves in a different, intimate way.

Not long ago have we celebrated together the amazing number of 50 000 photographs on the WoL website. Now it is time to celebrate yet again!

We would like to bring your attention to the achievements of Jiří Pergl, founder of the foundation called One More Day for Children, who successfully overcame all of the administrative and financial obstacles during his last visit and with the help of his associates, officially laid the first stone of a new Children’s Home in the Doldol settlement in Kenya.

Not long ago did the project experience a large boom in the form of new weeks from Russian speaking members of WoL. We have witnessed amazing sets and gained several great authors, amongst which one clearly stood out – the young Sergey Poteryaev. His first week showed us what kind of photographic talent we are dealing with and proved this to be true with three additional sets. His talents left us no choice than to interview him, get under the cover and find out further details not only about him as a person, but about the places and locations that have influenced his photographic journey

On both sides of the ‘Legions’ bridge are two towers, originally used for toll collection in the early existence of the bridge. I can’t recall how many times I have passed through here over the past three years and how many times I had a camera with me. I guess it was the right constellation of stars (I’ve heard that luck favors the prepared) and I suddenly noticed a ‘face’.

You have surely noticed that today’s selection of sets in the Last Added section is a little different than usual. All of the added weeks have two characteristics in common – the same city and the same time period.

We would like to welcome our 32nd country to Week of Life! Take a chance to see into the life of people living in Japan.
