    Default NADA Chicago 2016 Photos, please share yours

    Please feel free to add any other pics you may have of the event. It was very difficult to photograph discus in there so I didn't try to take too many. Tried to get more of a feel of the event itself. I will not add names to many of these as there are too many to name. A slew of pictures follows:

    Lets start with the speakers:

    DSC09645 by Rick Vasquez, on Flickr
    John Nicholson discussed Judging criteria.

    DSC09658 by Rick Vasquez, on Flickr
    Dr. Stephen A. Smith discussed Discus Health, Illnesses and Treatments. Great talk on pathology.

    DSC09662 by Rick Vasquez, on Flickr
    Joshua Raatz filled in for Josie to explain about being a fish importer

    DSC09681 by Rick Vasquez, on Flickr
    And of course our very own, Al Sabetta talked about Discus in general

    DSC09736 by Rick Vasquez, on Flickr
    Dan Lorbeske talked about collecting in South America and this was a very very good presentation. I enjoyed this thoroughly. He and Erica Hornbrook both work for Shedd Aquarium

    DSC09786 by Rick Vasquez, on Flickr
    Erica Hornbrook discussed Project Piaba, which is an organization NADA donates to regularly.

    DSC09789 by Rick Vasquez, on Flickr
    And finally, Dick Au. Great orator and very informative.

    I didn't get a chance to get a picture of Spencer Jack and there isn't one of me unfortunately.
