Black and white photography has its stable fan base and even in a season full of tempting colors, such fans continue in processing their weeks in monochromatic fashion. More so in documentary photography, specifically in the third of week of member Ondrej Valik, who named it Summer BW. Everyone who has seen this week must confirm that color is not at all needed and that Ondrej skillfully captured his family and the calm summer atmosphere. In the comments below the week, Ondrej admitted that he will not be returning with a week anytime soon due to lack of will. Hopefully, he will reconsider, as it would be a shame not to see the elusive moments of life through his perspective.

Lubomir Losonsky is an experienced author in the Week of Life project. This time, you can go through his 34th week called All about water and the visit from Spis. It has been a trend over in the project that after documenting life over a long period of time, your weeks get better and better. You look for new perspectives of the ordinary things in life and try to be original, though it becomes harder over time. Lubomir is one of the members who fits this description entirely and for us it’s a pleasure to see such development and award the Editor’s Choice as a result.

David Selicha is known among the Week of Life members for his unusual profession. As the only representative of this profession, he introduced us to the life of a sailor in several very interesting weeks. This time however, he left the dock and right from the start of the week he boarded a plane and departed in a non-typical direction. As opposed to most other travelers, he did not travel south to the seaside, but north to visit the Arctic Circle. Based on the photographs he took, it must have been an interesting trip and an extraordinary experience. Thanks to David, we had a unique chance to see the world as he sees it.

For her original style shown in her weeks, Hana Gela became the next in line of the Week of Life Masters. A new Master is chosen only once in a while and Hana reassures us with every new week that we made the right choice in selecting her. The same goes for her 40th published week called Summer Ostrava. Everyone who likes details of ordinary moments presented in unusual and interesting compositions will certainly enjoy Hana’s sets.

Recently, our selections in this category remained with older and stable Week of Life members. After several weeks, their dominance was broken by a premiere week of a new member, student Eva Strnadova, who named her entrance week “Premiere: Vacation in Moravian Wallachia.” In 9 images a day, she perfectly presented what she experienced during her week. The combination of black and white photographs or the vivacity of interesting details gives this week a must see status. For many of you, vacation weeks were first attempts in the Week of Life project, which later transformed into a mild addiction. We hope that Eva becomes addicted as well and shows us more from her everyday life.
