We live our lives and attend to our everyday worries. Suddenly one day, we get to experience something of extraordinary character we’ve only seen in movies or know from the media. For instance, Lukas Vesely traveled abroad to taste the atmosphere of the Big Apple. When you say the United States, you immediately think of the Statue of Liberty, Manhattan, Empire State Building, yellow cabs and many other indicators. Tourists visiting New York must all have problems with low disk space on memory cards, battery running low on cameras or a sore eyes attached to viewfinders. New York is simply a place which offers a lot to photograph. Lukas has shown us bits and pieces from this amazing atmosphere and squeezed them into a week of 9 photographs a day. The final selection must have been hard.

It has been some time since a newcomer was selected for the Editor’s Choice with his or her premiere week. This trend has been made obsolete by student Jakub Jira, who thought up the name Non-film for his week with which he entered the project. His set is well-done thanks to the black and white toning and the first few pictures immediately indicate that photography plays a major role in Jakub’s life. Additionally, every photo enthusiast must enjoy the legendary viewfinder camera from Leica. This camera was more than just made for street photography, which appears several times in this week, and we can only hope to see a new week from Jakub soon, perhaps this time on film.

His user account holds more than a 100 weeks, he is frequent visitor of the Editor’s Choice section, yet he has still managed to impress us with a unique week. The office is full of the name Romek Hanzlik, who has prepared a feast for our eyes thanks to one of his life adventures in the week called SLOWLY SLOWLY PICTURE PICTURE. For many of us, visiting Nepal is an impossible dream. Thanks to Romek, this amazing country is almost at our fingertips and even if just for a little while, we can taste the atmosphere of the monasteries, feel the morning breeze that wakes us up only to see the highest mountains in the world or find out something new about the culture of this rough, yet beautiful part of the world.

All of us have busy lives in one way or another. We have all sorts of duties and responsibilities during the day, so how could we also manage to carry a camera with us? That is a routine thing for the Week of Life members. When nothing happens, it’s harder to photograph, so the more of a hustle we have, the better the final images we get in the end. Tomas Simek demonstrates this in his newest week called 58 th (hectic), a collection of 63 black and white photographs and today’s Editor’s Choice.

Our lives are interwoven with events that are usually short-lasting. However, there comes a time when we experience once in a life time moment, such as moving to a new place. David Bares is currently going through this ‘moving’ period. Day by day, he has documented the preparations up until his newest week called Week of the First Night. As the name suggests, his new place has already been tested out. David has managed to capture this hectic period brilliantly and we can only look forward to his upcoming weeks that will surely be as good as this one.
