Member’s Forum (In Person) – Japan (and Hong Kong and Taipei) by Boat with Jim and Jerri McDermott
January 27, 2026 @ 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Bio
Jerri and Jim McDermott have been active members of NVPS for over 10 years. Jerri was a librarian in the Fairfax County schools, and Jim an economist in the federal government. Both credit their friends at NVPS with encouraging their learning and development as photographers. They’ve both migrated to using mirrorless Nikon cameras.
Description
Having lucked into a repositioning cruise deal, NVPS members Jerri and Jim McDermott traveled to Hong Kong, Taipei, and along the coast of Japan in 2025. (Repositioning happens when cruise lines move ships from sailing in one geographic region to another. The cruises are sometimes less expensive than “normal” cruises, generally less frequent, but may not offer the same range of shore excursions.) Jerri and Jim will share some photography from the trip, as well as observations on doing photography on a cruise, particularly a repositioning cruise.
