Hundreds, maybe thousands, of drives past these and other refineries near my hometown of Bountiful had left me with a deep desire to capture their eerie beauty against a traditional Davis County sunset, but it wasn't until I convinced my friend Randy to drive me back and forth along I-15 and I-215 several times one night in May of 2018 that I managed to really follow through on my wish.
Most of the cars you see at Bountiful's annual car show each June are either custom hot rods or old classic cars from the '50s or '60s, but a handful of exotics usually spice things up with some Italian horsepower.
When I'd previously photographed Bountiful's annual Burnout competition, press passes courtesy of my old roommate Rhee Braby got me right on top of the action. This year we decided to take a more laid-back approach, and I put together this long shutter composition from behind the protective chain link fence.
