‘In time of June’ is how Milan Novák named his first week, impressing not only our editor’s office with his debut, but surely also many of you. His black and white / colored set fulfills the main idea behind the project and in addition, its implementation shows that the author can easily visualize what happens in the world around him. Even though he supplied individual days with a commentary, in this case, it was of a secondary meaning. The 9-photograph mosaic perfectly describes the events and commotions of each day, which is (and we are sure that you will agree with us) not at all easy.

Meeting a new member of WoL has almost become a daily habit. Every new addition draws a smile upon our faces, since every week is interesting and characteristic in its own way, making it ever so hard for us to decide who to acknowledge for the Editor’s Choice today. In the end, we have chosen the ‘modest beginnings’ of Kateřina, who is yet to unfold her full name and we can hope to expect that her first week will not be her last, as that would be a real shame. Do not be fooled by the name of the week however. Despite that it is Kateřina’s first attempt of photographing her week, her beginnings are not at all modest. The appealing details hint at the presence of the author’s creativity and we can only remain eager and look forward to what she will surprise us with next.

In his four previous weeks, Jan Novotný has introduced us mainly to his family and friends. This time, he guides us on the tour of his work place, spiced up by humor and interesting images in particular. We have the chance to know Jan better with every new week, but that is the case with everyone else as well. Therefore, we are delighted whenever a first week (usually called ‘Trial week’ or ‘First attempt) results in a second week, third and so on, till you realize that you wouldn’t be able to imagine your days without the ever-present camera.

It goes without saying that more heads put together more knowledge. This could certainly be applied to the range of our vision as well, as more eyes account for a broader perspective and wider scenery. And since one of the main aims of this project is to compare and contrast lives of people around the world, we highly value the dual insight of the Sucharda family. Both Juraj and Monika share their domesticity with us, each documenting it in their own personal way and often during the same time frame.It’s almost beyond belief to have the opportunity to see how family life is viewed through the eyes of a man and a woman. Today’s Editor’s choice belongs to Monika Suchardová and her new toy… a camera.

She named her first week ‘At least I’ll try…’ An initial attempt subsequently turned out as a journal and while listing through the pages, we were invited into the private life of an Ostrava native, full of a hearty dose of energy and vivacity. Today’s Editor’s Choice is dedicated to Šárka Lisníková and her sets, which – here, we would dare use the words of the comments to one of her weeks – ‘mature like grape-vines’. With utmost sincerity, we all enjoy tasting every sample she brings forth.
