The ancient towers are beautiful, austere, sad and joyful. Zhang Yuming has identified thousands of Buddhist stone towers throughout China. Each photograph of each tower represent one step on his life’s journey. Before taking each photograph Zhang Yuming humbly prays in front of the towers. To document and record them all will be a lifetime pilgrimage.
