Ah yes, Dewitt "I shoot for National Geographic" Jones.
Way more mentions of shooting for NG in his columns than there are
mentions of him in NG's index.
I'm not familiar with Dewitt Jones and how often he brings up that
fact,
but I have to say that if I had shot for National Geographic, I would
have
to mention it at least a few times in public. ;)

During the period when I used to read Outdoor Photographer (several
years ago) I noticed that Dewitt Jones brought up his shooting for
National Geographic in every single column at least once.
Since I was also in the habit of reading National Geographic and had
never noticed his name in a byline or photo credit, I eventually looked
him up in the index and found a small number of references, but he still
really isn't one of the first, say, twenty names that would come to my
mind if I were trying to think of National Geographic photographers.
Just struck me as major name-dropping, the way he kept on with it, and
persistent name-droppers just set my teeth on edge.
'Course, I haven't read OP in many years, so for all I know, by now
Dewitt Jones could have died, retired, or stopped referring to himself
as an NG photographer every month, (Rowell died way after I stopped
reading the mag) and the text may now have its typos corrected before
printing. For all I know.
