So this is my 2nd time shooting at Mare Island and the first time I've been kicked out. Again, this place is crazy weird and I may been trespassing this time... really?! Trespassing what? Please leave a comment if you've ever been to this ghost Naval Base. Still, it leaves amazing room for photography and I love every square inch of it!
While my Grandpa was out to sea in WWII, my Grandma worked at Mare Island. I guess she'd even go down to the ship yards in SF and wait for all the sailors to get off their boats hoping it would be her husband coming home, but in the mean time, worked here in support of the war. So we decided to take a step back into the 40's with my gorgeous cousin, Natalie and our friend Payton to recreate what once was. We even had my Grandpa's Seabee uniform; so so fun! For more pictures and a much more thorough story, visit my sister's blog.

I've been to Mare Island but when it was an active Naval Base. I was a little girl and my uncle was stationed there. It was interesting and mysterious even then. Why were you kicked out? Doesn't abandoned mean you can do stuff there?
Strange...but LOVE the photos.
