about:
hello, i'm jacob (or kev), a
(you disabled scripts, guess you'll never know how old i am)-year-old, my pronouns
are he/him. photography is my latest passion.
besides photography, i also enjoy editing videos and despite this site's appearance, i
actually hold a bachelor's degree in umweltinformatik (english: environmental informatics).
i always wanted to build my own website, but procrastination got the better of me. the site
should also serve a purpose, and until now, i didn't have one. that's why i dedicated this site
(mainly) to my newfound hobby, photography. on top of that, i'm using this site as a playground
to test things i've learned during my studies so i don't forget everything, haha. so, welcome to my online space, where pixels meet
purpose °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
i'm also currently learning japanese on duolingo, my streak is loading... days long.
when i need some downtime, i either turn to my comfort series, better call saul, or i watch the latest episode of noraly's adventures. i also enjoy browsing through the various commemorative stamps which you can collect while traveling japan (i know, you could say i'm a bit autistic, haha). i'm also a bit of a weeb; my favorite anime series include nichijou, cowboy bebop, zankyou no terror, sousou no frieren, vinland saga, mushoku tensei and dandadan among others.
big thanks to w3schools, stackoverflow, stackfindover and nauti - to whom i can always turn when i have questions about javascript, php, or anything programming-related, really! without their services or nauti, i wouldn't have been able to design the site the way i wanted. (this website is intended to be viewed on an hd monitor.)

explore the places i've been with openstreetmap:
above, you'll find a map featuring some of the photos i've taken during my travels. my goal is to have at least one pin on every continent someday!
to reach that goal, i'll try to keep the map updated. it's not necessarily difficult, but it's definitely time-consuming.
tweaking the json file, pinpointing the exact location for each picture - especially when adding pins months later - can be tricky.
the built-in gps, when it works, only gives an estimate, so i often have to fine-tune the location afterward.
