A 5 star conversation
I loved chatting with Tom from The Camera Cafe Show about my work. He is a great podcast host and made me feel at ease and guided the talk in a relaxed conversational manner. He was well informed about my work and the experience was really fun. I would highly recommend his podcast. 5 stars from me
What a great time!
Thanks Tom, I had a really great time talking with you on The Camera Cafe Show. It was rewarding to do a deep dive into the nether realms of photography with someone who really speaks the language. And I see you have a fine taste in photographers who have interesting things to say, like old friend Bob Krist. Talk about somebody who knows the travel photo world! I'm sure you enjoyed it and I'm sure Bob did, too. So thanks again. Jim
"A Life on Two Wheels"
I found it very relaxing talking to host, Tom Jacobs, it brought out the best recollection of my memories as a cycling photographer. Tom's questions were inspiring and open-minded, and nothing was off the menu as far as my responses were concerned. The podcast produced a mixture of stories and anecdotes that reflected both my working career in photography as well as the exotic lifestyle that came with it. The technical aspects of the job were dealt with well but not too deeply, and as such both the sporting subjects I photographed - like Eddy Merckx, Tom Boonen, Lance Armstrong, Alberto Contador and Bradley Wiggins - as well as discussions about food, travel and culture were all given their own prominence. One for the ages, as we English say!
What a host!!
I sat with Tom for this podcast with a huge feeling of imposter syndrome, having listened to all previous episodes with global leading photographers. However, he is such a super host, he teases the info out of you with ease. It was a real pleasure to sit down & chat with him.
Ms
I really enjoy listening to the Camera Cafe Show. Thanks Tom for being such a wonderful host and making your guests (including me) feel so comfortable!

I’ve just listened to my first episode of ‘The Camera Cafe Show’ (the Brian Matthews episode) Wow… I loved it. The show delivered a wide variety of topics discussed in some great depth. Absolutely loved the emphasis on how nature photography can relate to the promotion of sustainability and conservation in the natural world. Really interesting. I’ll most definitely be tuning in to catch up on the other episodes, keep up the fantastic work. Excellent.

It was my absolute pleasure to talk with Tom on The Camera Cafe Show. I treasure finding like minded photographers who love the photographic process and storytelling as much as I do. While I've enjoyed being featured, Ive also gathered insights from the other photographers in the series. Each conversation is a glimpse into a different aspect of this wonderfully diverse hobby.
Great working with Tom and listening to the pobcasts
Great to be involved in a high quality, brilliantly produced podcast (and fun) ('protecting biodiversity...' edition!) great to listen to other photographers and learn new approaches/styles/techniques and reasons why they take photos.
Great 🤩
I love Carolyn's works, it's great lo listen her!
