While wondering about how to characterize the weeks of Hana Gela, we simply listened to nature and let the wind whisper the answer to our ears. Yes, the best way to describe them would be the phrases airy and windy. Her last November week is no exception, overflowing with chastity and softness, so specific to her style. Hana works as a foreign language instructor and if we were to guess which language fulfills her the most, it would be French. Her weeks have the same ‘zest’ as French fashion, known for its nonchalance and emphasis on individuality.

Welcome to the dreamy week of Naďa Manková, created with the help of Lens baby. The whole week builds up a specific atmosphere as if you were reading poetry while listening to soothing music and letting yourself go into the world of dreams. Reality suddenly seems imaginary. We applaud the original approach with which Naďa documented her life, although we do have to emphasize that the most important aspect we value is content, which in this case has luckily remained unaffected.

Imagine a building at an undisclosed location in Moscow. Inside, a room that smells of paint, where the only sounds emerging are those of the artist’s indigenous brush strokes. This is exactly the scene of the first week of life documented by Olga Davydova - an artist who welcomed us to both her art studio where she paints and spends most of her time and to the world of fine arts. The atmosphere of her week is truly breathtaking.

Up until now, we mainly had the chance to absorb the atmosphere of life in the city of Ekaterinburg. We are now moving further west to explore another Russian city, Nizhny Novgorod (5th largest city in the Russian Federation). In her first set, Anya Lipman has portrayed this wonderful city both in sunlight as well as under the spell of clouds and rain. Anya’s photographs were very captivating and so we hope that we will see her next set on WoL very soon.

Igor Babic has documented his first week of life in such style that a mere look at the first images makes one want to explore them further. The unique atmosphere of the week is created through color photographs that exude calm, with the occasional use of black and white film completing the artistic set Igor’s playfulness with light, detail and color toning makes this week a worthwhile visit.
