  A Tapestry of Time Unfolds:   2022 / 2023 Evening Photos from La Paloma Observatory 🌇🌇🌇🌇  In the canvas of the evening sky, A tapestry of time unfolds, Each brushstroke a flicker of sunlight's descent, A softening embrace as daylight turns to night.

The atmosphere within those walls was a peculiar mix of beauty and sleaze, a refuge from discrimination and a synthetic toxic chemical pit all at once. It was a place where love, life, drama, possibilities, sketch, and loss intertwined seamlessly, creating a mosaic of experiences that I still and will continue to cherish and choke on for all my days to come. As a resident DJ, I was the maestro spinning the vinyl rhythm of the night, blending beats that resonated with the eclectic crowd. The dance floor became a vibrating sketch, painted with the vibrant hues of diverse souls seeking love, a hookup, or to escape from the harsh realities of life — this was the Tenderloin — This was DivasSF.
