eading back to the airport in Memphis after completion of a successful consulting trip, I took a slight detour to Wilson Arkansas. It turned out to be an odd little town, with an old agri-industrail complex on one side of some railroad tracts, and an English Tudor-style village on the other. A quick Google search revealed the place was originally a family-owned company town which provided a community and housing for employees of the Lee Wilson Company, a large diversified agri-business. It was dark and overcast with low light contrast when I exposed this infrared shot, giving the resulting image an appearance of antiquity.
