Perhaps you would be puzzled a bit by the URL name of the site - well, I created this site with my family in mind so it holds our family name which is Zabrovsky.
The information provided in this section will give you an idea what this site about, our personal details, our hobbies and occupation. Well, frankly, the idea of starting our personal web site has come to my mind just recently, after I realized that it's much easier to share my experiences and pictures online instead of using email routinely to spread the pictures among our friends, family members locally and abroad. Besides of that, I thought I gained enough images worth of exhibiting to the audience in my online galleries, although due to free time limitation image uploads are often delayed but I'm trying to catch up..
Well, my given name is Alex. I'm married guy and our almost 4 years old dauther Liora togather with her little sister Michal are our big proud. Both are very cute I must confess.
My wife's name is Irina and she is very proud to be a mother for such sweety children. There is a section in my image gallery especially devoted to my family members where you can see us.
As about our occupation, my wife is a software engineer graduated with BA degree in Computer Science from the Technion (Israeli Institute of Technology) at 1998.
I hold practical engineering degree in electronics from National School of Practical Engineering affiliated with the Technion, while being now a student in Holon Academic Institute of Technology, faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering towards my B.Sc.EE degree.
We both are Israelies living in Kfar Saba which is nice and quiet town 15 km north-east from Tel Aviv (or about 80 km south to Haifa).
Actually, both were born and spent our childhood and teenage years in former USSR (in Ukraine to be more precise) and emigrated to Israel in 1990 - about a half year prior to USSR collapsing (we got lucky - after that time it became much more difficult to leave that country due to severe economical problems once descended on the people there).
Besides of working hard making living, we try to devote some time to our hobbies, although after becoming new parents there is almost no such thing as free time, I must admit.
My wife read books at the light speed, however, now I'm happy to see the baby care is taking considerable part of her hobby as well. As about myself, about a 8 years ago I accidently got bitten by photography bug and since then can hardly imagine myself without camera during our outings or having any free time. Since then I gained substantial amount of pictures, and even though scanning and preparing the images takes considerable time that I hardly can afford lately, I managed to build up my updated online portfolio to be readily available for site visitors, moreover, it's being updated routinely on a permanent basis whilst any, even smallest updates are reflected immediately in the News section on the main page. The galleries represent the fields of my interest in photography.
The Classified section on Galleries main page is aimed for Events, special and missions I might be hired for (Weddings, Social events, Coporate and so on...). The idea behind this is to allow the interested party a personalized approach when once awarded the access to his own gallery the person can select the images among presented there for print out and alike. All that without publically exposing the images.
My equipment history, current inventory as well personal opinions about the hardware can be found in Articles section among photography-related written stuff.
Links chapter contains the links to online resources I found useful for me and that might pose certain interest for my site visitor.
