Arte Peregrina aims the purpose with art to reveal deeper truths and insights that are normally obscured by day to day doldrums and the banality of superficial observation.
"My name is Jürgen Kobel, born in southern Germany, nearby the Lake of Constance. As a backpacker I started to became interested in photography."
​
Self-tought I realized individual and collective exhibitions on national and international level. Countless publications and interviews in subject-related magazines in Brazil and in Germany.
​
Artist Name: O Peregrino (The Pilgrim)
"I worked as a freelance photographer over 20 years ago.
​
At the end of 2018, I got a smartphone as a present from a friend and started to shoot some photos.
​
In the past 20 years, a lot has changed in photography in terms of technology, but the art of capturing, image design and ethics of photography are still unchanged.
​​
However, the aim of my work always was and will be for educational proposals. Directly or indirectly"​​
This link will take you to Flickr (Photostream). Flickr is an image and video hosting service and online community founded in Canada and headquartered in the United States. I post a photo once a week and then also select a good photograph to view under favorites (Faves).
Today is May 19, 2025. I've been posting a photo every week for 46 weeks, and so far, there's been no response except from clickbaiters. Since it's a logarithm-based system, I absolutely cannot recommend Flickr. The design is clean and clear. The quality of the photos ranges from amateur to professional.
​
I joined fotocommunity in March 2025. About fotocommunity: In 2001, they had the idea of ​​bringing together photographic works from committed amateur photographers under a common interface, to network them. From this idea, fotocommunity was born.
Today, fotocommunity has more than 1,500,000 members and is the largest internet community for amateur photographers in Europe. It is also the first choice for firms seeking to target their advertising to a highly specialized, affluent consumer with an interest in the latest technology. Although there are a lot of amateur photos and professional photographs remain in the minority, the members are highly interactive. Therefore, I can recommend fotocommunity. Here is my link.

Here a link to my old website. This website is from 2016. Various third-party and also some of my links are out of date or have already been deleted. Here you will find some additional things about me, the camera equipment I used at the time, and a small photo gallery. Converting the slides into a digital format was, as always, a bit complicated here in Brazil.
