Most of us remember long summer vacations spent at camps filled with adventures. These memories usually come from our childhood, but some of us keep enjoying these moments in our adult years. Alena Kratochvilova is one of these adults and shows it in her fifth week called “One at camp”. Besides the basic camp rituals, activities and cooking in poor conditions, this is a week with a dose of adrenaline. Weather was not on their side and the atmosphere was ruined by strong rains and subsequent floods in the camp. Alena was able to photograph events that for many of us happen once in a lifetime.

Summer is a season of travelling and many of us choose the seaside as our destination. Lukas Vesely also made this decision and traveled south in the beginning of the summer holidays to enjoy the seaside, but more importantly to begin his 8-day tour with the Czech Boys Choir in Lombardy, Italy. His week offers entertainment, trips to nature, sightseeing of random architecture, free time and mainly choir singing. It must have been a great experience for the members of the choir, but for the Week of Life members, it is not only about quality pictures, but we can all see what happens during such an eventful tour.

David Papanek has been a member of the Week of Life project for two years. In this period of time, he submitted 7 weeks. In comparison to other members, this number isn’t large, but we can be assured that the weeks are full of quality and excellent content. The same goes for his week “Festival mainly”, in which David captured the atmosphere of a famous cultural event, the Karlovy Vary International Film festival. His amazing photographs are a great form of invitation to other Week of Life members to attend the festival next year.

There are authors in the Week of Life project worthy of an Editor’s Choice for every week they submit. Jan Nozicka, a successful photographer with a lot of potential, belongs among such authors. Jan was awarded this selection in the beginning of the year and his photography of Adolf Zika from the Week of Life member meeting has become legendary. Since then, Jan has documented six more excellent weeks. As expected, his current week “38 – The week in the life of Noha ‘East or West, Home is the Best’” is another one of Jan’s great documentaries about the life of a young man, for whom photography evolved into an integral part of his life.

Today, the Editor’s Choice goes to yet another newcomer to the Week of Life project. This time, it’s Martina Mecerova who decided to capture her first week of life on camera during late June / early July and named it First – WoL, KVIFF, CPM, in which she documented the atmosphere of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival or a change of professions. It was the right choice to start documenting during these days, making her entry week a success. Let this selection be the right positive energy she needs to document many more weeks for the good of herself as well as for other members of the project.
