[LargeFormat] Landscape Masters!!

Dear Kent,

     Simple.

    Advertising.

    Tell the world that you are the best and most exclusive and most
ecological and intellectual and you have big friends in high places and you
are secret but fabulous lover and will that be cash or Mastercard?

    Convince them that your lifestyle of living on Taco Bell wrappers and
spoonfuls of pure benzedrine is the only valid artistic statement since
1818.

    Get a big old camera and a bigger older lens and the front half of an
old Kodak Darkroom Guide and a bushel basket of assorted vegetables and a
WPA grant and locate a sand hill and run off behind it.

    Drink. Lots. If you can get other people to buy the drinks you can put
the money you save towards paying for an agent to tell people to buy you
drinks.

    Find YOUR landscape. Yosemite Park is taken. Big Sur is taken. Mt. Fuji
is taken. The engine shops at Chama are definitely taken. I suggest you look
at making a lifetime artistic statement using the local fish freezing plant
or panel beaters. If your road to fame is longer than you expect you can at
least eat fish.

     Uncle Dick
