Posting Pictures In Facebook Etiquette’s With Others/friends Involved?


I would like to think that I’m a very conscious person upon organizing my social networking sites. My profile is set on private, I kindly refuse any of my office mates access to my Facebook for personal reasons and to avoid unnecessary drama. I keep my temper in check when I post on a bad day and become very cryptic or just general when posing a rant.
I do however own a vast collection of photo’s over the years, I lived alone for a while and had a hard time making friends as a teen so when I finally found my niche of friends who 15 years later are still my closest buddies I made sure to document all our good memories in film and photography.
Back in the 90’s we had horrible hair and did not wear much makeup. Our fashion was either something we dare not show the world or wore according to the latest fad. Such were the contents of my album which I started digitally scanning.
I posted a few on Facebook which most of my high school and college friends appreciated because these where “lost” memories of them. And even though the fashion or hairstyle was horrible they were not scandalous or “career” damaging in any way. beside most of the pictures were us when we were 14-16 years old, mostly shots in our bedroom, mall or a proper birthday party.
I told my friend I had those pictures and was posting them in facebook, an album of MY OWN birthday. There was no alcohol, no flashing of any kind. Just silly pictures of us with really bad haircuts. In fact the picture was of me and the rest of us as i was blowing my candles.
She went off on me immediately telling me I disrespected her by posting the pictures. At first i chided with her and quickly retracted it knowing she was quick to temper.
But she came down on me hard by telling me I was a person she did not trust and mess everything up for her. She informed that even though I own those picture I had NO RIGHT to post them without her consent. Even though she and our common friend have uploaded in the past picures of us together and had us tagged.
She did not speak to me until I apologized and said that it would never happen again.
I do feel though that she had no right to tell me what pictures of my own albums I can or cannot post. The pictures also included some of our few common friends who are ok with the content and are asking me for digital copies. However I refused to give it to them on account of my upset friends.
What are the proper etiquette when posing a shared image of myself and other people?
Thank you
