Title: Katrin Koenning

This picture appealed to me because it gave a creepy vibe off, and it seemed fitting since it is Halloween. The woman under the cloak looked like a ghost when I glanced at the thumbnail.
I'm not really sure what the artist was trying to convey, but the picture seems really interesting.
I'd like to learn more about the photograph and I wish there was an article to go along with it so I could fully understand what the image is about.

Title: Latin America Week: Erika Diettes
Link: http://www.lenscratch.com/2012/10/latin-american-week-erika-diettes.html
This article caught my eye because it talks about a photographer from a different country than The United States. One of the things I want to do most as a photographer is travel the world capturing images of different countries and cultures, so it was exciting to read an article about a photographer from a foreign country.
The piece talks about the work of Columbian Photographer, Erika Diettes. She often captures images of people in her country who have lost family members due to the violent wars that have taken place.
I was actually really interested in this article. I liked how she said you heritage is as much a part of your pictures as you are. You are who you are because of where you come from, everything you experience affects your pictures and your outlook on the world.
I would like to continue reading about photographers from foreign countries. Since I want to travel and take pictures of different cultures, I think it would be very beneficial to learn about photographers from the countries I want to travel to. Where they like to shoot, what they think about their country, and places that are full of life.

Title: Houston, We Have a Problem: Upcoming Menil Vandal's Exhibition Draws Facebook Fire
Link: http://glasstire.com/2012/10/10/houston-we-have-a-problem-upcoming-menil-vandals-exhibition-draws-facebook-fire/
What drew me into this article was a very similar thing that drew me into the article I selected last week. Last weeks article had a play on words, this weeks has a very famous phrase used in a different context then it usually would be.
The article talks about the upcoming exhibition of Uriel Landeros' work at the James Art Gallery. An uproar has occurred as the artist apparently defaced a Picasso at the Menil Collection last summer. It has caused many partners to split down the middle, including the partners who used to work the Gallery (CuertoJames).
I was shocked to hear that someone vandalized a famous painting! I didn't think that you could do that and go unpunished. Not only has he not been punished for it, but now he is receiving his very own gallery show. It's like a slap on the wrist and it's over.
I'd like to learn more about what happened at the Menil Collection last summer and the defacing of the Picasso. I've never heard of someone vandalizing a famous work of art before, so I'd like to know what happens when they do that.

Title: Praxis Makes Perfect: Repeat, Repeat, Repeat
Link: http://blog.art21.org/2012/09/27/praxis-makes-perfect-repeat-repeat-repeat/
What caught my eye when I was browsing for an article was the play on words. I typically find that when an article has a word spelled differently or contains a play on words, it is pretty interesting.
This article discusses the life of artist Antonious Wiriadjaja, and how he went through a residency at NYU and briefly discusses his experience and his feelings about it. He enjoyed it because it was like an "extra year of art school", on this time he was getting paid.
I was fairly interested in this article, but since it applied more to one person's life it wasn't as interesting as I had hoped. I did however, relate to the article. It talked about how he loved that he was able to teach what he loved and he felt like he was performing more than he ever had. I was a 2nd grade teacher at my old church, and I always felt like I was putting on a little show while teaching to keep the kids interested.
This time I'm not really interested in reading more into this article, because it just talks about his experiences and feelings during his residency. If it had more to do with photography and how it is constantly changing or something along those lines, then I might be more interested in learning more about it.
