The picturesque French countryside with the hospitality and kindness of its people, who enjoy chatting with a glass of good wine in their hand served with pieces of delicious cheese, is altogether an experience to remember. We have had the chance to witness such atmosphere in the week of Pavel Zukal, as his photographic documentation takes us to these calm and pleasant places typical for life outside the city.

Irina Ahmetova’s week filled with colors of the fall season has opened the gate to the world of colorful combinations and miscellaneous scents, specific for this season of the year. Irina’s touch for altering and arranging photographs has made her week a sight to remember and despite her set not fulfilling the rules of the project 100%, we simply had to pick her for today’s Editor’s Choice due to her artistic approach.

In the last few days, we were flooded by new Russian sets and despite being positive about the quantity, we have realized a few things with regards to quality. Each new country that actively joins the project brings along hard work, much needed effort and a lot of patience, especially concerning rules which members should abide by when capturing 63 photographs. We have looked the other way in some cases, however, we can’t (and don’t want to) do it with all of new sets. With today’s selection of the Editor’s Choice, we would like you to focus attention on the first week of Juno Magritte, one who more or less fulfilled the criteria of WoL and at the same time amazed us with some fascinating images.

We have seen, witnessed, experienced and enjoyed the sight of familiar as well as unseen places thanks to your contributions. A new item to our collection has been added by Yveta Klusoňová, who took us on a journey around good ol’ England. Weeks capturing ‘moments of vacation’ have a specific feel to them and not always document the atmosphere of everyday life. However, to travel and relax is an inseparable part of our lives and therefore has its place in the Week of Life project.

A little bit of blur and an ordinary mosaic becomes a piece of art. That goes for the second week of Aleksey Badanov, who joined those members of WoL that digitally experiment with the presentation of their photographs, leaving others with something to gaze upon. We appreciate such ideas, especially ones where originality does not affect the quality of the document itself.
