The resting ships at the bottom of the sea offer a unique background for the photographs of Andreas Franke. The photographer says: “With my photographs of sunken shipwrecks, I want to pull the spectators into unreal and strange worlds. Mystified scenes of the past play within a fictional space. Dreamworlds you can get lost in or that you can identify with. This creates a new and unexpected atmosphere. This work shows [a lot] of myself, since I am always on the lookout for stunning themes to create new images never seen before.” Photo: Andreas Franke.

September 19, 1880

The term “boycotting”- a form of non-violent protesting – entered the English language on this day in 1880. Coined by Charles Stewart Parnell in his speech on land tenants at Ennis, he said, “I wish to point out a better way, a more Christian way which will give the lost man an opportunity of repenting. When a man takes a farm from which another has been evicted, you must shun him on the roadside, on the streets, in the shop and even in the place of worship by putting him in a ‘moral Coventry.’ You must show him your detestation of the crime he has committed.”
