SUMMARY:TAPPA July Social @ Ricks on the River
DESCRIPTION:TAPPA Social at Rick’s on the River\nTuesday\, July 29th | 6:00 PM\nRick’s on the River\n2305 N Willow Ave\, Tampa\, FL 33607 \nJoin us for the next TAPPA Social as we gather at one of Tampa’s most legendary riverfront watering holes: Rick’s on the River. \nThis is not your quiet little tea-and-crumpets networking event. Rick’s is a true Tampa classic sitting right along the Hillsborough River\, complete with waterfront views\, cold drinks\, fresh seafood\, oysters\, live music\, boat slips\, outdoor seating\, and the kind of laid-back local character that makes a summer night feel like a proper Tampa adventure. \nArrive by car\, truck\, motorcycle\, boat\, paddleboard\, or possibly carrier pigeon\, though TAPPA makes no official guarantees regarding bird-based transportation. If you happen to arrive by vessel\, Rick’s even has a marina and wet slips\, which makes this one of the rare TAPPA events where “I came by boat” is both acceptable and mildly impressive. \nCome hang out with your fellow photographers\, videographers\, creatives\, image-makers\, gear-talkers\, story-swappers\, and occasional overthinkers of lens choice. No formal program. No speaker. No print competition. Just good people\, good conversation\, river air\, food\, drinks\, and a little bit of Tampa folklore. \nMembers\, guests\, spouses\, significant others\, photography friends\, video friends\, and well-behaved humans are welcome. Three-toed sloths remain questionable and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. \nMark your calendar\, bring your appetite\, and join us Wednesday\, July 29th at 6:00 PM at Rick’s on the River. \n2305 N Willow Ave\, Tampa\, FL 33607 – Riverfront bar and grille with a marina\, wet slips\, live music\, oysters\, and cold drinks right on the river.

SUMMARY:TAPPA Member Social at Three Birds Tavern
DESCRIPTION:TAPPA Member Social at Three Birds Tavern \nJoin TAPPA for a relaxed evening social at Three Birds Tavern in St. Petersburg on Wednesday\, August 26\, 2026\, at 6:00 PM. \nThree Birds Tavern is one of those St. Pete locations that feels like it was made for an easy\, comfortable night out. Set inside a historic farmhouse on 4th Street North\, the venue has a warm\, neighborhood-tavern feel with plenty of character\, charm\, and personality. It is known for its casual indoor dining spaces\, wrap-around porch\, shaded outdoor areas\, and inviting patio atmosphere beneath mature oak trees. \nThis is not a formal meeting\, workshop\, or classroom-style event. It is simply a chance for TAPPA members to get together\, enjoy good conversation\, talk photography\, catch up with friends\, meet fellow members\, and spend time with people who understand the creative and business side of what we do. \nThe venue offers a casual American tavern-style menu\, with a mix of starters\, burgers\, handhelds\, salads\, entrees\, and shareable items. Whether you are coming for dinner\, a drink\, appetizers\, or just the company\, Three Birds Tavern gives us a comfortable setting to gather without the structure of a regular monthly meeting. \nFor those who enjoy atmosphere\, this is a great St. Pete spot. The historic building\, porch seating\, outdoor patios\, and neighborhood feel make it a nice change of pace from a traditional meeting room. It is the kind of place where members can settle in\, relax\, and have real conversations — the type that often turn into new friendships\, referrals\, collaborations\, and ideas. \nEvent Details \nDate: Wednesday\, August 26\, 2026\nTime: 6:00 PM\nLocation: Three Birds Tavern\n1492 4th St N\nSt. Petersburg\, FL 33704 \nThis event is for TAPPA members only.

SUMMARY:November General Membership Meeting With John Naders
DESCRIPTION:November General Membership Meeting With John Nadler \n  \nNovember 10\, 2026 \n  \n6:00 PM to 9:00 PM \n  \nAmerican Legion Post 5\n3810 W Kennedy Blvd\nTampa\, FL 33609\nVenue website \nThe best time of year to get together with fellow photographers \nAuthentic Connection & The Art Of Natural Light \nBio: John Nader is an award-winning\, Houston-based photographer and a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) with a legacy rooted in the craft. Having learned the art of photography from his father\, John specializes in capturing moments that serve as generational heirlooms. His portfolio spans the globe—from intimate local ceremonies to high-profile international destination weddings—and includes the historic distinction of photographing the first-ever earth-to-space wedding involving the International Space Station. \nKey Expertise: \n\nThe Comfort Factor: A specialist in guiding couples through a “whimsical and natural” posing process\, removing the awkwardness of being on-camera to ensure authentic emotional representation.\nNatural Light Mastery: A preference for outdoor environments where he utilizes the “magic” of the sun and sky to create soft\, timeless portraits.\nLegacy Storytelling: Drawing on his background to focus on “moments in time” that retain their emotional value for decades.\nTechnical Excellence: An active member of the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) with a decorated history of awards from the Professional Photographers Guild of Houston.\n\nWhy He Inspires: John’s philosophy centers on the idea that a photo session should be a “beautiful and meaningful experience” rather than a technical chore. Known for his calm\, detail-oriented presence\, he allows couples to focus on their celebration while he expertly manages the technical nuances of the shoot. When away from the camera\, John finds inspiration in modern interior design and the immersive storytelling of flight simulators and captivating drama. \nPortfolio: nadersphotography.com
