    Gaffer's tape for Leo!
    The show has a number of very good to excellent guests. Catherine can be a good interviewer when she is allowed to conduct the questions. What drives me crazy is Leo's constantly talking over either the questioner or even worse when somebody is trying to answer. Leo acts like one of those insecure people who has to show that they have something to offer even when they don't. Depending upon the guest, I'll listen to either the audio or wath the video. Leo's interrupting is really grating if you are just listening to the audio. Suggestion - slap some gaffer's tape on Leo's mouth and let him write out any questions he has.

    Wow, this is Good
    I am not a photographer but really love this show! Fascinating interviews and I love hear how artists do there work. This is my favorite podcast lately. Keep up the phenomenal work.

    Love the fact that we can actually listen to pros in the field that we otherwise would never hear. Thanks so much for that, Leo and Catherine. Catherine could actually learn from Leo, though. Be conversational with your questions, you should actually throw your notes out, because you sound like you are reading from them and it really is annoying. You are a pro, you don't need the notes. Love the show!!!

    Catherine Hall is gonna kill this PODCast
    I really enjoy this PODCast. They get some great guests. But if Catherine Hall is allowed to continue to sit in the "interviewer" chair then this PODCast is doomed to certain death. Catherine continues to prove to the audience that she is one of the most inept interviewers around. Thank God Leo is there to come to the rescue every time she asks a question that makes completely no sense. Catherine must have been told once in her 40 years that she was cute and she continues to think that will get her through. Unfortunately, she isn't and it won't. Leo has a phenomenal reputation in the tech world. Why he is letting this girl drag him down is a big unknown, but next to her his generous shines even brighter than ever. The production value is pretty good, albeit there is usually a stream of traffic out the window in the background. If you can put up with dumb blondes waving their flag, then this PODCast is usually pretty good and offers up some nice info.

    Catherine Make the show
    Catherine makes the show, but Leo breaks it for me. Given I am only listening to the audio version so you have to work hard to imagine what the 'picture' in question is like, but Leo is continuously interrupting the guests or Catherine to talk about a new pictures he has found. It's almost like he's not listening to the content, but off looking of the next topic to 'discuss' and hears the inter-sentence gap, so is bowling ahead to the next topic. I have watched a couple of the episodes on video, and you can see Leo not engaged in the talk, just hunting for the next picture, I get that dead air time is bad. Episode 28 with Alex was so much more relaxing to listen to, he hasn't trying to dominate every conversation, for example episode 29, you have Rick Sammon on, and Catherine asks Rick a question and Leo interrupts to try answer it, Rick's so polite he brushes the tangent off, and get back to the question, what a pro. Where-as so many other guests, sound like they are getting pushed along by Leo with no regard to the actual words they are saying...

    Best of the lot
    Positive, enlightening and fun. Leo brings his well practiced skills to the table and shines. Catherine Hall has a great knowledge base but still asks questions and wants to learn like the rest of the viewers.

    Really interesting
    I find this podcast very informative. I hate to say it, but I was giving up on it until I saw they had switched away from Lisa Bettany. She's not well-suited for video podcasts, as she has some sort of weird eye-blinking problem. Catherine Hall is much better, and her photos are awesome.

    Better and getting better
    When Catherine started hosting the show, the show, which I already enjoyed, started getting even better. She is very prepared for her guests and asks them questions we all want answered. Kudos to Leo for being able to get Catherine on his team. Kudos to Catherine for doing such a great job! This is a weekly MUST view.

    I really like Catherine Hall! The first time that she was on the show I thought that she would make a great host. The guests are wonderful and make it an enjoyable educational show.

    MUCH IMPROVED
    If you haven't listened to this show in a while, be prepared, because it's much better with new co-host Catherine Hall. Mostly Lisa was mostly just beautiful to look at, Catherine has a better personality for podcasting. In the two episodes since the change, two great photographers have been on to share their tips and insights into the world of photography and they were tremendous. The premise of the show is good enough, talk about photography. While the show is improved since the start, I still wish the focus was more on the average consumer and the average photography. I didn't think Leo wanted a photography show geared towards professionals but it is slowly becoming that. Not that it is a bad thing, but I think the show would be even better if tips were geared towards consumers, not even semi-pros or amateurs. Not everyone has or can afford big flashes, softboxes, etc. How can we take better photos with a point-and-shoot, or our camera phone? BUT this show is still much improved with Catherine as the new co-host. It's a must-watch every week!

    One of my favorites!!
    Great show. If you like photography you'll like this "netcast". Different subjects and points of view from various guests. Leo makes it funny and informative as only he can. Subscribe!!

    A new going through growing pains
    The show is trying to find it's identity but the guests are interesting. In the long run it will be difficult to keep the audience.

    Mostly Wonderful
    What's not to love about a podcast that interviews world-famous photographers about their work and gets them to offer photo tips and includes a look into their gear bag! Thanks Leo, Lisa, Catherine, and Trey- keep it going please.

    Photography for Dummies (And I mean that condescendingly)
    There is a reason to subscribe to this show, unfortunately you wont see who it is if you only get the audio version. So while you miss out on staring at a pretty girl trying desperately to prove she's a photographer with her words (and not her work) then what you actually get is a show unsure of who its audience is or why it even exists. They constantly try to dumb down things to cater to a non-existant point-and-shoot crowd at the expense of the enthusiasts/pros who want to get good tips and content. I dont recommend this show primarily because there are better shows out there to spend an hour a week on.

    Show 2 much better.
    I used to be into photography in HS/College. Camera got stolen kinda lost interest. Just received a hand-me-down Canon D40.....So this podcast could not have better timing. Just listened to show #2....The guest was a nice touch. PhotoWalk in Chicago.

    Opportunity Lost - Currently
    Given the technology standards of the TWIT network, I found this show to be generally boring and lacking decent content. Any photographer that listens to the network would have vastly greater knowledge than this show seems to be catering to. If the idea is to bring this show to the masses, fine, but currently I'm not interested. It is my opinion that Leo should have gotten Trey on board as discussed when he was a guest on TWiT or some other show.

    The TWiT Slide Continues
    Clearly Laporte is "throwing pasta at the wall" and hoping something will stick with his "netcasts". There is nothing here that a viewer can't learn by reading the manual that came with their camera or from from Gary Fong. Leo loves to flash his expensive equipment, but that has become tiresome. We've seen it before. Develop some *original* content, or kiss this one goodbye.

    It can't hurt
    Can't hurt to have another twit. Good for you leo. Hope this works out.
  • ACOMPANADO
    Its Leo!
    It's Leo talking about cameras. You can't go wrong. keep up the good work Leo

    Wondering
    The beta shows held promise. the first episode lacks focus. Granted the host is an amateur on the radio, this episode had no direction. Lisa needs to host with confidence and reign in Leo. Both are enthusiastic but the show is a little shallow and vague. I will keep listening as I hold out hope it will get better.
