Spring Enthusiast Shot 600 Springs in Twenty Years
He has been drinking spring water since he was a child. Gradually, the idea of shooting all the springs in Jinan was planted in his mind. He bought a camera at 800 yuan in 1993. From then on, he started his journey of shooting springs, riding his old bicycle, taking the camera. To take pictures of springs, he always lives in the mountains for more than ten consecutive days. Sometimes, he couldn't find a place to stay. Sometimes, he was in danger. Once, he was riding on the rugged mountain road, the brakes of his bicycle suddenly went broken, he fell off the mountain slope, and was badly hurt. After the accident, he invented a new brake technology, installed the brake system of motorcycle to bicycle. So far, he has shot 600 springs.
Nowadays, he is still looking for unknown springs and taking pictures of them. On April 10th, Mr Zhang founded a unknown spring at the foot of Hua Mountain. Mr Zhang also holds an photo show in Qu Shuiting Street, to show the Spring City to people from other cities.
