Rarely do you find someone who likes the beginning of a week and the thoughts one has on a Monday morning are usually targeted at the upcoming weekend. That is definitely the case of David Bares’ week named The week when summer ended. It’s full of images from work Monday to Friday, from the reconstruction of his flat, and many other events and activities that he was able to capture with his camera. The turn of the week comes on a Saturday, when the weekend full of a much needed rest and a number of exhausting summer activities begins. David covered his week with a black and white coating and as he claims himself, he immediately formatted his card after submitting this week, in order to document another week, which we can expect will be as good as this one, selected as today’s Editor’s Choice.

Who remembers the times when we went to summer camps as children? Do you recall when you spent ten or more days away from home, sleeping in a tent or a small hut? For many of us, it's a long gone memory. For some, however, it is as current as today's newspaper and they enjoy it every year, even during adulthood. There is a lot to enjoy during a well-planned summer camp - eating from a mess kit, sleeping under a clear sky, roasting small sausages on a bonfire, playing cowboys and Indians and many other unforgettable activities. Milan Novak has showed us these activities and more in his week Uduorp Itorp ('up-stream' spelled backwards), today's selection for the Editor's Choice. When going through individual days, we're sure that many of you will think back and reminisce about the good old days at summer camp.

An honest black and white week. This is one way of describing today’s Editor’s Choice. The week with the name “Fifth (July)” from Ales Stribrsky is a prototype of how a set in the Week of Life project may look like. Black and white editing gives it a nice touch and adds depth to the content and its descriptions, altogether creating a compact week resembling a set of documentary photography. It’s a week that catches many different activities such as construction work, home chores, shopping, entertainment and a very interesting vernissage, which the author enjoyed, just like we enjoyed his week.

When talking about fish harvest, most of us think of dreary cold weather, the intrusive stink of fish and mud as far as you can see. However, that is only the culmination of an all year effort which a few weeks later results in the fish served on your plates during Xmas. Now it's summer, yet we have a 'fishy' week available from Jan Watzek, a student at the faculty of fisheries and water preservations and no newbie in the Week of Life project. As a result, we have the chance to look into this unusual field of study and as a bonus at the end of the week, we can feel the atmosphere that is evident from photos taken at a folklore festival.

Every Tuesday and Friday each week, the Week of Life Editor's Choice is given to a week which somehow catches our attention. At times, it takes a while to select the right one. On other occasions, the selection is immediate. Today's choice, a holiday set of Juraj Sucharda called Holiday Weeks - Part One - Benelux, fits the latter decision-making process as the selection was obvious. The week is full of emotional photographs of his family, friends and the atmosphere of places where he and his family spent their vacation. The technique is brilliant and the monochromatic style along with great descriptions of individual days invites us to visit the week more than once, making it a pleasant necessity to view the set over and over again.
