For this year's Utata Big Project, I let myself amble wistfully down the lanes of what might have been. Each "portrait" is a piece of clothing I would've worn to an event now cancelled by COVID. I am absent in the photos just as I will be absent in real life. The dress form is the framework for a memory that will never exist, the images softly layered atop it stand-ins for a scene that will never be. I love clothes and curate them carefully; I am mourning a life they will never have as well as the lost bits of my own.

Caught a Giant's Spring Training game here in Scottsdale, AZ, known as the Cactus League due to the 15 teams that practice here in the desert. Perfect weather and a perfect ball park, small with great views of the park. The relatively small crowd (~12,000) was friendly and feisty - it was a agreat outint - the Giants beat the Milwaukee Brewers.
It was a beautiful sunny day in the mid-70's today; I've been here in the middle of summer when it's 113 degrees and unbearable - don't do that !
A jumbo size bobble head of Tommy Lasorda, stood about 6' high. As we left the park and Tommy waved goodbye, we probably should have given him a finger, there was a colossal parking failure, for all the hub bub about this park, the traffic sucked.

John William Johnstone Jr. (b. November 20, 1946) is a former professional baseball player, active from 1966 to 1985. Johnstone was known as a versatile outfielder with a good sense of humor, known for keeping clubhouses loose with pranks and gimmicks. He later served as a radio color commentator for the Yankees (1989–1990) and Phillies (1992–1993).
He pulled off a number of infamous pranks during his playing days, including placing a soggy brownie inside Steve Garvey's first base mitt, setting teammates' cleats on fire (known as "hot-footing"), cutting out the crotch area of Rick Sutcliffe's underwear, locking Dodger manager Tommy Lasorda in his office during spring training, once dressing up as a groundskeeper and sweeping the Dodger Stadium infield in between innings and then hitting homers the next, nailing teammates' cleats to the floor, and replacing the celebrity photos in manager Lasorda's office with pictures of himself, Jerry Reuss and Don Stanhouse.
Career highlights include:
- As an Angel, he preserved Clyde Wright's no-hitter against the Athletics in the seventh inning by catching a Reggie Jackson fly ball 400 feet from straightaway center field, just in front of the wall (July 3, 1970).
- As a Phillie, he went 7-for-9 in the 1976 National League Championship Series against the Cincinnati Reds. However, the Reds swept the Series.
- As a Dodger, he hit a pinch-two run home run in Game Four of the 1981 World Series against the New York Yankees, the home run rallying the Dodgers from a 6–3 deficit to win 8–7. The victory also enabled the Dodgers to tie the Series at two games each; they won the next two games to win it all.
