My name is Jin Zan and I'm an encyclopedian where I perform writing, photography and illustration. Here on Wikimedia Commons I contribute for the cause of history and art. I'm also active on Wikipedia and Fandom. I photograph a variety of things, i.e. the city I live in, Malmö, to contribute with its history, and various things found in nature and at home. The pictures I make are often in the subject languages and writing systems. Furthermore, I've been a member on Wikimedia Commons since the summer of 2012.

I was born in the city of Malmö and had a second home in Stockholm. I have been into photography since 2006 and it has also been part of my media education in secondary school. Among the works were e.g. photographing (mostly outside), photographic processing, as well as picture editing. Furthermore, I, together with other students, have also held a photography exhibition in a museum (a minor one), something that is not very common.

As part of my interests, I speak a couple of languages and play guitar. Beside my mother tongue Swedish, I speak advanced English, intermediate Latin, simple Spanish, Italian and Japanese, and a little ancient and modern Greek. I also speak a little fictional languages, i.e. quenya and sindarin from Tolkien's legendarium and Ancient from Stargate.
Beside all this, if you ever wonder who I am for sure, just decipher 777. Omnis dicam, "that's all I can say."
