Indonesia sank dozens of impounded foreign boats to mark Independence Day, an official said Wednesday, as President Joko Widodo steps up a campaign to stop foreign fishermen from “stealing” in its waters.

Indonesia summoned the Chinese ambassador to complain, and Ms. Pudjiastuti has urged China to surrender the vessel. Jakarta has impounded 10 more Chinese boats, the ministry added, which will be destroyed unless their owners win an appeal to have them returned.

Officially, there is no territorial dispute between China and Indonesia in the South China Sea—as China has with Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam—but Jakarta is increasingly concerned about the presence of Chinese vessels near the Natunas. It has already announced plans to set up a military base there as a protective measure.

So What Exactly Is Deadpan Photography?
https://www.nyfa.edu/student-resources/what-is-deadpan-photography/

First, let’s speak about what exactly a ‘deadpan’ photograph is. While there are a handful of different definitions, the most popular is that a deadpan photograph is devoid of emotion. It simply exists as a subject and photograph, yet it seems to be empty. There is no joy or sorrow, although some can argue that the deadpan itself is a mood of its own. Famous photographers who use this aesthetic seem to be completely detached from the subject that they are photographing, and the word ‘indifference’ seems to describe the photograph perfectly.
