Back in 2019, Jim was all prepared to go to Japan with Discovery Photo Tours and just a week before the trip was to take place, Japan shut down due to Covid and the trip was cancelled. Discovery returned all the money collected and the owner, Ken Kaminesky moved back to Canada. Back in late 2022, the Discovery website went live again and Jim was ready to sign up for two more tours, but unfortunately rising costs will like make the trips too expensive. Jim invited Ken to talk about the photo travel business and other photo topics! Hopefully he may be able to arrange trips in the near future, so please keep an eye on his website - www.discoveryphototours.com!
