Refinement
...a oil refinery in Shreveport, Louisiana. It is right next to I-20 and looks so beautiful at night. The hard part is to find a good position to shoot it from. I had to choose between the shady neighborhood next to the refinery or the exposed road on one side (no where to stop besides the shoulder). Naturally it is important to look out for both cops and rent-a-cops as terrorism paranoia is alive and thriving. In the end I tired both. The shot from the neighborhood (above) was more successful and peaceful. The road had a better angle, but I got stressed (even at 2 am with very few cars).
