SW-CFM In PHOTOS!!!!

OCREEFMASTER · Sep 20, 2010

Okay, so here is the scoop. As many of you who were at CFM saw, I went around and tried to capture the major highlights of CFM that I saw, I tried to get as many booths as I could. If I didn't get yours (I am sorry) again, I tried to get as many as I could.
My little blurb about SW-CFM 2010. From a personal standpoint I thought the show was great, it looked like a bunch of people came. I believe they said last year they had around 400 or so. I am anxious to see what the turn out was this year. Besides for that, it was great to see some friendly faces, and super awesome to meet some entirely new ones. I met Jose Casa's for the first time (great to finally put a name to the Screen Name I always see), Victor and Jason Fox from WWC (Nice to meet the guys I always here Rukis talking about) and a host of others.
As you will see from my pictures the eye candy was definitely out for this show! I tried to get all the pieces that I thought were awesome and I am sure I missed a ton! Overall, I would say the show was great, the turn-out even better and overall for 2010 a great Southwestern Coral Farmers Market!
Now for what we have all been waiting for...
First some of the Vendor booths...

Please Note: These pictures are my representation, they do not need approval or criticism.
Thanks and I hope you enjoy.

Again, I hope you enjoy these photos.
I do ask that if you would like to use these photos as stock photos for a website or your personal blog, please let me know. It benefits you and I as, I at least know what my photo is being used for (For further references) and it will benefit you as I can email you the actual photo in actual size, not slimmed down as photobucket does. Also, as you can see I didn't water mark them as I feel it takes away from the picture.
One last thing, if you like what you see, and you are feeling generous my tank did just crash and I lost a ton of pieces...I could definitely use some hand me downs!!! If you have anything and are willing to donate it to me. Please send me a PM!
Thanks, and what a great 2010 SW-CFM! Can't wait until next year!

Guess I'm out of touch. What is SW-CFM, where and when was it held? Is it an annual event? Nice collection of photos.

Troylee - It was definitely amazing, it was great to see some East Coast guys, (Jason Fox and Victor for World Wide Corals) and as you can see the eye candy was amazing! Thanks for the compliment I love shooting macro and this was a perfect opportunity.

Gparr - SW-CFM stands for SouthWestern Coral Farmers Market. It was held yesterday in Ontario, California. It is basically, part of the Coral Farmers Market series, which was originally put on by Steve Tyree, and is usually hosted by a local reefing club. Well, here on the west coast it seems to be blowing up.
