PHOTO POSTING GUIDELINES

Remember, the purpose of our page is to discuss Tampa topics--to remember places in Tampa that no longer exist (or still do) and other Tampa memories, history, nostalgia & trivia.  Sharing your thoughts and memories of your experiences in Tampa helps us all bring up vivid mental images of those "good old days."  Please observe the following guidelines to help make our photos and discussions more relevant to as many members and visitors as possible:

  • Please include a photo caption describing the scene and if possible, the date or year the photo was taken. (If the date or year is estimated, please indicate this.)  Naming the persons in the photo, if possible and appropriate, will also help spur more discussion.

  • Photos should show scenes of Tampa; people, places, events, items, memorabilia, etc.,  pertaining to Tampa or its past.  It doesn't necessarily need to be the main subject of the photo, it can be in the background or even be a small detail that evokes a Tampa-related memory.

  • Photos showing only a person, class, team or group, etc. without a Tampa scene, location, landmark, event, Tampa person of note, etc, in view should have some relevance to Tampa in subject. 

  • If you have multiple photos of basically the same scene, please consider picking the best one to represent the scene or event.

  • Please keep our purpose in mind.  Although your personal or family photos are enjoyable, a few once in a while go a long way.  If you have several or many you'd like to share, but their only relevance to Tampa is that they were taken in Tampa, please consider posting them to your own photo album.  You can then share it with Tampa Natives members by posting a link at Tampa Natives.  You can do this by typing your message on the Tampa Natives wall, at the top where it shows "Write something".  Then under your comment click the small icon for "Link".  Paste the link there that you copied from your photo album where it shows "Share this Album with others."
