Weeks of Romek Hanzlík were interesting the instant they appeared in the project, since the journey across different concert halls allowed us to travel to distant lands and admire their beauty. Even though Romek’s life is not currently filled with musical tours, he does not waste time and explores the enticement of family life in his homeland; and that is what satisfies us the most. His steps were initially insecure, however nowadays, every new week brings forth an original and exciting experience. Romek is an exceptionally active person and we hope that he will keep to his tradition and excite us with new diverse events and occurrances in the future.

A week full of art, good food and drinks, along with a fair amount of ice hockey cheering. All of this and more is included in the second visit to life of student Pavlína Prokůpková, who first introduced herself while visiting relatives in New York. This time, we had the chance to see her in company of her friends and while experiencing those moments in life that are said to be ‘common’, but at the same time so exciting and very important to us. We can only wonder about where she’ll take us next.

‘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.

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.
