"Say Cheers!" A conversation with Tom Gilbert, photographer and beer writer
Welcome to Tulsa Talks presented by Tulsa Regional Chamber. I'm your host Tim Landes.
After nearly four decades of being a photographer and a decade of writing about beer for Tulsa World, Tom Gilbert now contributes beer of the week stories and photo galleries here at TulsaPeople, and I couldn't be more excited. He's someone I've looked up to for a long time, so I was thrilled he agreed to chat with me about his life passions of photography and beer.
Tom takes us back to his teenage years in Saudi Arabia when and where he learned about home brewing and fell in love with taking pictures. He returned home to Broken Arrow, went to college and then started at Tulsa World in the mid-late 1980s, where he worked until December of 2022.
We talk about the evolutions of photography and journalism and he shares his thoughts on where he thinks the industry is going.
We start and close talking about the always growing and evolving Tulsa beer scene. Cheers!
