This image is another tribute to Robert Kato. Robert photographs an area countless times and over a long period of time, digging deeper into the essence of a place upon each visit. His work at Mare Island is sublime. Captured at night, Robert transforms the former Naval submarine station into a magical and mystical wonderland. This image is my interpretation of this ghostly place, showing just a memory of what was once a thriving military base.
