Chin San Long (Lang Jingshan) (Chinese, 1892-1995). Photograph titled "A Pair of Cranes, " depicting two cranes beneath a tree. Silver gelatin print. Hand signed to the mat along the lower right.
Chin San Long is known for his innovative art photography, particularly his signature "composite photography" technique. He was the first Chinese photographer to take artistic nude photos, and also specialized in nature photography.

William Atkins (1919-2001) was a pilot for Northwest Airlines, who spent his career flying to Asia.

It was through the photographic society in Taiwan that he met Chin San Long, with whom he became close friends. In the 1970s, he arranged an exhibit for Chin San Long's photography in Minnesota.
