I never was a believer. I mean a religious person. I do believe in rock'n'roll, in my guitar, in my cameras (mostly in analog stuff), and in the healthy lifestyle, sure I believe in my family, which is not big, but compact and wonderful. But nothing inexplicable to my understanding and touch. Yes, I am sure that the UFO is not just an FBI and Pentagon's fairy tale. And for me, it exists, the unknown life beyond the sun, the universe, and black holes. Even I can't touch it or prove it exists.
My first touch with any religious activity around me, was the visit to some small church with my grandmother when I was so young, that I can't even say how old I was that day. She took me to some Russian Baptist or Orthodox church, and the atmosphere of something collapsed and smelled strange to me at that time, so I think that I asked her not to take me there again.
Anyway. After many many years since my first visit, these days I love to visit any historical-traditional-religious place to learn and to feel something different from my daily life. Sometimes I visit the Jerusalem churches for my photography. Or, just to listen for the silence inside and feel how little we are - the humans in the huge and boundless world.
