Chin San Long (Lang Jingshan) (Chinese, 1892-1995). Photograph depicting a woman carrying water along a rocky bank, with tree branches extending up in the foreground. Silver gelatin print. Hand signed along the mat. Chin San Long is known for his innovative art photography, particularly his signature "composite photography" technique.

William Atkins (1919-2001) was a pilot for Northwest Airlines, who spent his career flying to Asia. He was an avid photographer who was involved in the Photographic Society of America, through which he developed relationships with photography clubs worldwide. 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.
