A few years ago I attended a show at the Decordova Museum of Modern 
Art in Massachusetts of photography from National Geographic.   Many 
people consider Nat Geo to have some of the consistently best 
photography in the world and they've published many 
successful "coffee table" books of their photography.    But I've 
met, talked with, or taken workshops from their photo editor and 
several of their photographers and I know that they regard 
themselves as PJ's.   So what do people here think of NatGeo 
photography - art or PJ?
