Pillars of Petrol

I was photographing this at night when someone from one of the RVs approached me, asking what I was doing. Although obviously standing next to a camera on a tripod, I answered politely that I was photographing. He then said many people do this, that he and all the people in the RV have guns, and that they were watching the place and cleaning it up because someone might purchase this and turn it into a glamping spot. He also said I could photograph, so I did so, using a higher ISO so I could get the proper exposure quicker and then get out of there. This is the interior of an abandoned garage in Two Guns, Arizona. I lit the structure from several different angles with a handheld ProtoMachines light painting device during the exposure.
